Tyler Jahnke's post I bet did un told harm to many who were on the fence and every month when he would post he got a check boom I bet someone jumped in disregarding the negative feedback that was coming on the site or the experts warning even done well these are high risk purchases.Marry that with little to no rehab and you have a financial disaster .. what these clients were sold and reality could not be farther from the truth.. and what I mean by that is the statements that D class low C class tenants are just thankful to be there are easier to manage than B or A.. that is just patently absurd. but I guess that is Morris opinion but not based in reality from those in the industry and you PM's could talk to that.As for what do to if your investment is under water and in bad shape..
