If it's something that you have caused then it needs to be corrected.

Quote from @Katharina Bormann: I address the importance of clear communication in my book.It's not enough to tell them what is wrong.

Everything you posted is correct except your definition of “profit” unless you only paid $140k.

If you feel passionate about managing them yourself, I'd recommend getting as much done and communicated up front.

I had tried to establish direct communication with jesse, but the GC did not want me talking to him.

If you need cash immediately you shouldn't be buying long term rentals. 2) Need to be able to communicate/teach it. 

Another guy wouldn't pass me at all because I showed him up...yet another kept insisting that his interpretation of a plumbing code was correct when it was not - cost me 1 month of time.A neccessary evil IMO, they were usually former GCs who couldn't make it in the real world.....  

In our trade, I would not expect any owner or GC to get this correct since our industry is extremely specialized.

I kind of gave up on Stessa, just do not have the time to deal with ongoing computer issues and constantly not being able to communicate with a company.

Correct, I need to apologize for keeping my example too simple when most people on here are much more sophisticated in investing than I am.
