Taxes, insurance, pest control, utilities, software, etc comes out to around $13k per year each for my 2 bedroom cabins.Also unplanned capital expenses will add up.  

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years. 

They also have no real control of anything.  

As you have experienced, HOA dues going up and so much out of your control, especially if you don't live there. 

When you fully own the asset, you're in control. 

For outside lighting if possible invest in good quality solar exterior lighting to help control the electrical costs.

They didn't request any refund as it was their issue and I can't control wildfires.The other was due to an elderly family member dying suddenly (not at our house) and they had to leave.

I have some feelings about the timing of the sale of the property, but that's the control you give up as an LP.

Can't decide which is better so I'd love to connect with anyone who has used one or both of these tools to figure out what they liked/disliked etc.Those two platforms are completely different from each other.I haven't used any of those two, however, I was a developmental controller at one point in my life and the construction team was using Procore as they were targeting large projects such as 100+ units groundup development.I believe BuilderTrend is made for remodelers and home builders.Right now, I am partnered up with someone to do construction and I am just handling all the financial side of things, currently using Monday and QBO to make it work.

A few connections who frequent the state senate have said that there is work underway to get this under control.
