that caused me to turn to music, I haven't listened to music while working out or on a walk or working in the yard for years, its always been podcast time, in the interest of maximum efficiency.  

He hit a gas line (not a huge amount of damage), and there is an extra bill coming to me from the gas company for the fix/labor/material costs.

I just started working with THD, I had the same situation as Shankar RamaniI had a 3/2 SFH posted for LTR, they reached out asking if I am open to short term rental, I was hesitant first but after searching the company and their business model, I was willing to take the risk if they pay me a good premiumThe person who reached out to me works with the insurance side of THD ( they have corporate leasing department too), and her tenant had a fire damage in their house so the insurance company wanted the tenant to stay somewhere until the house repair is done.

No cause eviction2. non-renewal of lease3.

All the sunk costs are in the basement from structural, mechanical, water damage, asbestos, plumbing, etc.

I know it has been costly to replace/repair the damage done especially with the property being vacant and a monthly mortgage payment due as well without any rental income coming in.Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Luckily great tenants who caused zero issues and barely needed to sweep & mop the place before sale.
