I thought there was something about being able to claim distributions and keep the safety of the entity intact.  

I fixed the safety issues and the house is vacant. 

As your portfolio grows, keeping one good easy-to-finance property free and clear can be a nice safety net.

If Houston is like Phoenix I know A/C was considered a critical need, health and safety I think was the terms they used.

If it is a safety issue, you probably don't have a choice.

Fortunately, I have a natural tendency to do the right thing and in a timely manner so his complaints to have "safety" issues addressed are not too much of an inconvenience for me (although the renter himself is an annoyance). 

Also take detailed notes on any repairs that were made to resolve trip hazards etc. 

I've got my day job to roll the dice, im in REI for the "safety".

The kind I do not like are passed on from their parents who never learned to work so they expect you take care of them.There are some restrictions and annual inspection most have to do with safety(railing), smoke alarms, and sanitation....

One such similar examplehttps://www.publicspendforum.net/blogs/steven-kopr...Ummmm...not only are you factually wrong (people have been sent to prison for fires that resulted in deaths where customers emailed the owners about hazardous conditions...they were convicted based on EMAILS) you either didn't read that well or didn't understand it.
