I dont know if this was a screw up on the rental companies part or the tenant, I am inclined to believe the rental company because they also screwed up fixing the things found on move in.

Once people don't have uncle sam to pay for their cost of living, they might be more inclined to work for a change, rather than vote for it.

I don't post a lot here but felt inclined to do so because I just went through a similar situation.

My inclination is to think that if they left the toilet running because they couldn't bother to listen for the sound of running water then I shouldn't be responsible for the bill increase.

I would be inclined to think the dryer lint trap would be potentially the same type of issue. 

On the price, it's technically slated to be zoned for 2 units, so I think a more adventurous developer might be inclined to pay around 300, but not sure.  

In theory it probably works at $20k each unit but you should understand the full repairs needed and planned for each unit.Redirecting funds from subject to B,C & D makes me inclined to want to cross collateralize the other 3 as well.  

It seems like lots of liability as I could have easily pushed over one of the pieces of 3/8" plywood and gained access to the home if I was so inclined, but I was in no mood to say good morning to a squatter.

That being said, places with cheaper strata fees can still be found but it makes me more inclined to try and flip properties, more than buy and hold for appreciation.

If it's an easy property to fill then I'm less inclined to spend more in management fees.
