The water costs for two deep soakings per month will be very small, but a deep soaking every other week will be enough water to prevent small trees and shrubs from dying. 

Properties have all sorts of issues when they're acquired and title issues can be among the most serious as they can prevent you from carrying out your plans. 

I also plan on implementing the BRRRR method as my strategy for investing.  

I'm extremely reluctant to put my deposit at risk by removing all contingencies when any number of issues could prevent a lender from financing through no fault of my own.   

I believe that the provider and the PM have the responsibility to prevent fraud and if it happens, dispute the charges, but they didnt. 

You can't implement an elaborate renovation and expect a large "above comparable" sale price2) HOA Rules - Homeowner associations have rules that might restrict how you use and lease the property.

I am new to the BRRR approach, but I am very interested in implementing it. 

I just rented out the condo I moved out of for one year and then sold, but the only reason I would say to sell vs. rent would be if there are any condo rules preventing you from renting/anything that could significantly jeopardize your cash flow.

What's to prevent them from attempting to do so?

That would mean something like, if we get 440k for 5 properties, we would pay back 600k over 15 years, at 40k a year (some of the NOI would be held alongside the initial buffer for emergencies until a certain threshold is reached, after which excess of that could be returned toward repayment).While this is an excessively long term investment in terms of real estate not going into a funder's direct portfolio, am I missing something crucial in my calculations or expectations of realized returns that would prevent me from finding someone willing to make this type of deal?
