I highly recommend staying well-informed about tenant/owner laws.

I specifically heard and briefly saw a bird in the return vent.Anyone had this issue before?

I have continually preached (since 2018) that cap rate compression (and interest rates) is what landed the historic 20+IRR returns, not operations, which is why so many people have been, and are still, in hot water right now with being forced to perform via strong operations.Today, we find ourselves in a much different situation.

Partner Driven was interested in the N Deerview Dr deal in Lake Villa, IL, due to its high profit potential.

If not true, should I expect greater returns from the MFR versus the SFR? 

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

Probably their contract says they could do the same to you, just returning your earnest money as liquidated damages.Now if you were a cash buyer, that all might have different consequences.My 3rd thought is discuss this with your new employer. 

I'm looking at other markets because the purchase to rent ratio in Las Vegas isn't the best, and I believe I could yield a much higher return and scale elsewhere. 

@Wayne Kennoff- thanks   1) getting a personal referral is a good place to start 2) if you have narrowed down the options to a few -  contact both on the same  days and ask them for whatever  quotes  for your scenario ...ask for a loan cost worksheet  if  possible .  ...if their pricing ends up being  the same - make a decsion based on the  feel  for  cutoner  service you get when communicating with them.   3)  make sure they  disclose all the fees  related to the  refinance  ( not just their  own fees ) ..4)  reviews are   hard to  use to make a decision ( as you found out ) 5) rates are pretty high right now for rental  properties ....if you can wait to  refinance - you might consider doing so ...if you need to refinance - so be it ...Good luck 

Lastly, our first two that purchased were home runs so can float the monthly losses, but it's always going to cancel out our good returns on those.
