The idea would then be to sell two-thirds of the equity in the SPV to an external investor (developer) for (0.75 x 1.63M) = 1.22M.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this all shakes out in either direction, seeing as we haven't seen such an economic fallout due to completely external forces in our history. 

I wonder what external effect would change that.

With this quarterly service they also do called in visits for the external/internal of the property. 

I confirmed HOA doesn't cover external ground maintenance for a single family home.

But I'd also really like to verify with some kind of external sources, so I'm not just trusting their word for it.How would you go about verifying the projected rental rate?

Certainly, we can all agree that every segment of society has a few bad actors.However, in your post, you set out haranguing other landlords (that posted above, as you state) for some perceived wide-ranging ill that there does not appear to be any evidence for, at least on this thread.To baselessly condemn the entire profession without that merit, to me, does indeed reinforce a false narrative.If I were to muse publicly, as you did, that since a few individuals belonging to an industry (or ethnicity) did wrong, paint them all with a broad unilateral brush and declare “and people wonder why (that group) have a bad name”, I’ll bet you’d use a harsher term than “false narrative” to describe that sentiment.Landlords have a very unfair negative public image because of a very small percentage of individuals in the industry, and you are not helping.

New external paint and landscaping.

I have a feeling the external vent pipe is not properly installed (perhaps too curvy or pinched) regardless I want to see a professional who can help with lint cleaning as well as assess if the external vent pipe is properly installed.Whom should I reach out?

Additionally, there are stressors pushing the price down from external sources.
