Account Closed they have to bring 50k to the closing table to pay off the rest of the loan.

I still think more sponsors should provide a sensitivity analysis table for Exit Cap and Exit NOI that illustrates the range of IRR on a given deal.

Completely unaware of the non-renewal notice.Given the guy has mountains of garbage in the unit (never would have been allowed but he was an inherited tenant), and the guy can barely walk around due to a bad back from age/ his work, how would you orchestrate this?

@Mike S. you'll certainly learn a fair amount about the process as an LP, but if you really want to get involved in the day to day you'll likely need to find a Sponsor who is willing to let you get in on the GP side in return for some specific skill(s) you bring to the table (deal sourcing, underwriting, capital raising, bookkeeping, etc.).

On a few occasions that I had to go in, while he's gone, a bible would be open on the dining room table where's he's reading it.

It's all predicated on what each party brings to the table and the value of that particular trait to the success of the venture considered.

If you have already have good deals then you can bring it to the table, otherwise it is just a talk.
