What we are experiencing on my side is the exact same, defaults is in range of normal perimeters, no major change only the excuses have changed.

Too many kids get told simple excuses so they don't have to deal with hard situations then they don't have the tools they need when they get older.

I know this because they were certainly my excuses for buying three SUVs within 6 years, and yet I drove a 2000 white-and-rust Honda Odyssey with 200,000 miles on it for much of that time to do my maintenance calls as a DIY landlord.

If you did get someone of the phone, lots of excuses and promises were made, but there was never any follow-on action.

Any longer than that (unless they have a seriously good excuse) is just disrespectful and sends a very clear message that they're not interested in your business.Also I'd be weary of using an agent (for your investing anyway) who doesn't invest in real estate him/herself.

They started having financial difficulties a few months later, paid a few sizable payments and the rest is history.. havent received a rent payment in years and the homeowner cant do anything. wants to sell but doesn't want to kick friends out... every time she tells them to pay theres another excuse... at the time she thought it was a win win for everybody.

These opportunities are undervalued, with undermarket rents, with value add opportunity.Don't use the "market" talk as an excuse not to take action.

Excuse me for (previously) wondering why your rehab costs should be hard to find - but I now see from your updated numbers that a hefty rehab budget is needed; is justified.

., and you're searching for excuses to save your money.

Since then a week went by with my agent calling theirs every day and going straight o voicemail, being told she had phone problems, and other excuses.
