We have been fairly reasonable in accomodating normal repair/maintenace requests.

They've been upgrading units as they've become vacant, which has reduced the monthly cash flow temporarily with expectations for greater cash flow in the future.The partners are all retired so they are starting to miss the normal amount of income.  

Do you have a spare car your not using, a collection that your not interested in or equity in your car or house?

That would be fairly normal.  

This car is a tool to make my job easier.  

However, there is a difference between a "Rush in Judgment" and years of experience hearing the same sob story over and over again.A "Rush to Judgment" would be someone who see's an applicant get out of the car, who  look like bums and so you assume they won't qualify for your rental. 

Get out of the car and talk to the neighbors in those neighborhoods.

*Take into account, Cash Flow: Mtg pymts, Property taxes, Property Insurance, Normal Repairs, Damages, Vacancies, Tenants not paying rent, Evictions.

@Lawrence Barnes  members can either contribute capital or loan the LLC money either way. you could simply contribute capital and in your operating agreement it calls for a distribution to you monthly that is separate from the normal running of the business. 

Kiel, your question is similar to asking "How much is a car?"
