I think @Brian G. and @Jaycee Greene hit it on the head: an event occurring/debt resetting.When the debt forcefully resets on some of these assets, valuations drop if the submarket cap rate has expanded and/or if the operator can not show a good t-3, t-6 etc due to economic vacancy and rising opex (insurance, r&m etc).If the operator can't inject equity to cover the difference, then trouble arises.

I've been told both extremes by several different people, but that's crazy to hold the agent responsible when they're forcing this arbitrary rule just so they can go after agents and brokers for something they had zero control over.  

That spells limited headaches, faster leasing times, better rents, in a location that get's accelerated appreciation via forced appreciation. 

House hacking can be powerful, but timing is everything, and forcing it could backfire.Out-of-State Investing with Property Management:This is a solid option, especially since you already have ~$20K in liquid assets, and potentially more with the 401k loan (though I’d only pull that if the deal really justifies it).

It is a shame as the city has great opportunity for growth, but most of the residents of Worcester are forced to go East for jobs as businesses either are not established in Worcester, or move to the suburbs to control their fixed costs.

if you do it right you'll have a great, fixed up property, and have forced a bunch of equity - and have no cash flow. 

My Air Force buddy @Ron Todd has had great experience with them and could probably give you some feedback!

Yes I believe at this point I am forced to do something to clear the building of any mold allegations because tenants do talk to each other, and I wouldn't want someone to hear from someone that there is an apartment with mold infestation and also that the owner/manager did not take action to remediate the possibility of mold.With that in mind, I think the mold testing to be done, needs to be building wide and not just that unit alone. 

Force equity through a rehab.

We are being forced and threatened to pay fees for 1 business credit card obtained and the invoice for 1 conditionally approved personal credit card.
