They aren't in the mood to sell or they wouldn't make a big deal of it. 

Same here, I doubt he did anything to such degree intentionally.If anything, it was an honest mistake like so many of us make.It's a shame tho that the Fed nowadays can throw the book at you and consider almost anything a RICO, tax fraud, wire fraud, etc... to lighten up the mood this morning I was just watching the Robert Plant concert in Toledo on U tube. 

Was it hard to find art that fit the scale, color palette, and mood you were going for?

Hybrid Approach: Consider hiring a freelance interior stylist or virtual designer for just a few hours to create a mood board and layout plan.

When there are items that need attention at your cabin due to this tighter process, we will notify you what those items are, give you our recommendations, and give you an estimated cost to bring everything up to snuff.I know that no one is particularly in the mood to spend money on their cabin right now, but it will be very important that things are kept tip-top to keep positive reviews coming in, which then impact your future rental revenues.

G'Day Luka,I'm not a fan of out of state BRRRR.It's hard enough for us on the ground to get rehabs done on time and on budget and I don't even want to think how difficult, expensive and time consuming it would be for out of state investors.And then include a high LTV and that can be a portfolio killer IMO.Hat's off to you mate for grabbing the bull and jumping in.You live, you make mistakes, you learn and you grow.Such is life.Building a large portfolio is an absolute must when investing in sub $100,000 properties in Ohio.I "killed" my business by not wanting to sell to investors that are using leverage.Our sales volume could increase by 70-80% but it is what it is.I just don't believe in it or want the hassle associated with it lolReason is mostly two fold:1) Not in the mood to deal with lenders for 2 months and hope the deal will go through.2) I don't believe that investors should use high LTV when building the foundation of their portfolio.My advice to you:1) Pay them off as quickly as you can.2) Build a larger portfolio.The investors that $#@% the most on my name are the ones that buy 1 or 2 properties and expect miracles.As you said, 1 furnace goes out or a sewer line needs repaired and bye bye cashflow for 2 years.We get blamed although we can't predict to fix certain things and there are just many unknowns with all investments.Our happiest investors are the ones that own 6-7 or even 10+ properties and all with cash and no leverage.They aren't worried about turns or tenant issues that occur on 1 or 2 properties as it's just the nature of the beast.Returns vary but across the board over the last 10 years I have seen 6-10% net ROI's year after year.Building a large portfolio is a must to minimize risk and to get the best possible long term ROI.Thanks 

Then you can even take them down to a very nice 'mood lighting'Of course you have to use the 5000k models (or maybe 4000k) 

Kinda makes you long for Walter Cronkite   or at least Paul Harvey to lighten the mood !! 

To many people want things they way they are there, the rest have stockholm syndrome and don't realize they are being held captive.

Some of the properties I sell as Turnkeys to out of state (California) investors who sometimes use CA LLCs while other properties enter my personal inventory until there is sufficient equity to do a refinance and pull the equity out.Occasionally a Tenant Buyer exercises their Option and I use the proceeds to purchase another couple of properties or travel depending on my mood.
