See when it comes to investing and money everyone is so damn serious.

Unless, maybe, Joe Schmo is a personal guarantor and has an outstanding credit history and P/L statement.  

I spend my time, money and "sweat equity" they put in 2 to 10k and the bank finances most of it... but how do I figure out what my time was wWhat my time was worth as a percentage of the value.To make it worse in the example above, a fully-funded property that values at $160,000 with $160,000 of outstanding loans and $4,000 of incidentals on top of that ends up with a startup value of negative $4,000. 

The latest is a complicated scenario and I wanted to ask the advice if it's wise to buy and hold or not.Just spoke with a lender that deals in that community- there's are a large number of foreclosures (around 2008) that put the previous homeowners in default  with the HOA, about half the money has been recouped and half still outstanding.

Any outstanding assessments or unpaid dues would be disclosed at that time.That said, the closing letter would not necessarily address any assessments currently being considered by the Board but not yet voted into effect.

I went to the last one, met some outstanding people and got a lot of great information. http://dfwinvestors.com/events/dfwi20160711-1/Let me know how else I can help!

The prices they quoted me were very fair and the job they've been doing has been outstanding!

That was outstanding, Albert Hasson.

So  if you don't pay attention if you received your deposit or not you will never know you are short because in the PM system the 1st months rent is paid and when you run a report on outstanding balances it will be up to date.. 

We agreed to a 1-month extension on the condition that she pays outstanding balance (she hasn't) and also that she'd be liable for eviction fees should that occur (the deadline is end of April).- Shortly after that agreement (which btw, I have NOT signed, but she has - because she failed to be home at the time we agreed to meet and I and I left it in her mailbox - also saying it's due by April 1, a deadline she failed to meet (she signed it on the 5th) and also part of the requirement was her paying the outstanding balance, so my attorney says the agreement is void unless I want to honor it) I got my water bill... it was about $2100 for that month, previous bills have been barely over $300 for all 3 units.- I called the city and they sent me an itemized usage by day, the correlation between between the above events that transpired and usage is too much of a coincidence to dismiss.
