I have a 12-unit building and after going through a lot of leak checks, my PM and I have come to the conclusion that a tenant or tenants are wasting water - to the tune of 5,000 gallons a day (a normal day is around 800). 

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a normal investment property refinance.

You may be required to make estimated tax payments when the property sells.It depends on what your 2024 total taxes due were and 2025 estimated total taxes / withholding / estimated payments are.If you pay in atleast 90% of the current year tax or 100% / 110%(Depending on 2024 income), you are normally considered good.You may want to consult with an accountant for more clarification.

I move along past the wins very quickly but sit with the normal and foreseeable challenges/issues for a really long time (and react like they came out of nowhere even though they are normal and did not).I've always been tempted to scoop up a house back home in IL.

Completely agree and wouldn't normally purchase a rental in these markets personally.  

As that subsided the returns normalized but I had a ton more equity. 

End of the month disbursements are pretty normal for Columbus.

Normally there're restrictions on these losses, and REPS can defeat these limitations, providing that you qualify for REPS.Self-employment tax applies to net income.

Investors normally want deals. 

They will give you a normal mortgage + construction funds for your project.
