Would it be possible for me to get the bill for the oil, but then add it to their monthly rent?

Would appreciate advice on reserving capitol to buy additional investments.

Contact banks and see what additional loans they can offer with lower down. 

You can pour an additional $100k into the property's principle in year 1 but that equity won't do you any good unless you refi, sell, or take out a HELOC (i.e. your monthly payments will be unchanged)... make your money work while you do, invest elsewhere 

With mine, I ended up paying the PM company additional money every month because somehow their expenses exceeded the rent collected.

I like this idea, but not all syndicators are willing to do this.Partnering would probably be a good idea as well; finding someone with experience who needs additional funding for projects.

If they won’t do that I let them know they may be subject to additional costs for collections, and that will hurt their future prospects for rentals as well as other credit based opportunities.
