Here's how I see the strengths of Podio:- it does CRM, Project Management, collaboration, and communications--all in the same system.  

In our trade, I would not expect any owner or GC to get this correct since our industry is extremely specialized.

The question behind the question is that I'm trying to figure out how to communicate with property owners that have under-utilized assets.

Everything you posted is correct except your definition of “profit” unless you only paid $140k.

Did you ask him to correct the issue? 

Correct, I need to apologize for keeping my example too simple when most people on here are much more sophisticated in investing than I am.

Another guy wouldn't pass me at all because I showed him up...yet another kept insisting that his interpretation of a plumbing code was correct when it was not - cost me 1 month of time.A neccessary evil IMO, they were usually former GCs who couldn't make it in the real world.....  

If you feel passionate about managing them yourself, I'd recommend getting as much done and communicated up front.

If you need cash immediately you shouldn't be buying long term rentals. 2) Need to be able to communicate/teach it.
