Good afternoon everyone,My wife and I are in a situation that’s probably not uncommon.

Hi Lonzo, tough situation but not uncommon with NACA projects.I work with investor-friendly Texas agents and contractors who are familiar with renovation-heavy deals in San Antonio and Houston.

Indeed, it's not uncommon for such companies to sell slightly over market (whether selling individual properties or syndications or crowdfunded deals). 

It's not uncommon to have to replace linens and other things between each tenant. 

Here is something critical, look at how long the HOA can take to approve or reject any proposed changes.   90 days is not uncommon.  

HELOCs on LLC-owned investment properties are very limitedTrue HELOCs on LLC-owned rentals are uncommon.

Also, it's not uncommon for a realtor to mis-list a duplex as a single family on the mls either. 

It is not uncommon to get them after mid-month following the reporting month.

This escrow shortage would go away after next 12 months but I am still left with new property tax amount of $11,000 annually for following year)Cash flow AFTER rise in property tax: (rent – (mortgage $2970 + PM fee))= Negative ~$1000/month Taxes were $3500, now $11k => +$7,500 / 12 = $625 increase/monthMortgage P&I $1,335 + $917 Tax + (Ins $1k/12 = $83) => TOTAL PITI $2,335So, your actual negative cashflow is $2180 - $2335  = -$155/monthThe escrow shortage is an interest free "loan" from your lender and shouldn't really be included in your analysis.So, you're losing $155/month, but rents and value should increase over time - unless you didn't analyse the market correctly.Negative monthly cashflow is not uncommon for the first 3-5 years of owning a Class A rental.

It took a very special and uncommon buyer to come along.
