This has stood the test of time and has proven to be the better choice.At our 8-plex we had one tenant burn a hole in a plastic/acrylic tub surround when she placed tea light candles in the soap holder.

- should the ceiling and walls in the unit below be mold tested and who should pay for thatthanks for any tips / advice !

I successfully passed both of my tests on the first attempt and felt well-equipped with the knowledge they shared.

There is a test for that.

Remember the old test of 'build me a sawhorse'....now it's can you sweep the floor? 

They'd probably be the best ones to inform you as they also do the testing. 

I guess I could look at it as this would be a good opportunity to test my chops at something more challenging than a single family rental with minimal risk.

How is it in a "simple" multifamily apartment LLC, in which everyone (syndicator included) has ownership shares, that contributed capital does not meet IRS tests for determining percentage ownership, like the Substantial Economic Effect test, or reflect the genuine economic arrangement among the partners? 

I tested it recently. 

Most regionals aren't very exposed to CRELarger banks even less.Might take a few years to reposition but since 2008, the banks are flush with cash due to various stress tests and must offset capital for any hiccup within the portfolio.Trump might loosen this again and might have a fiasco in the future with the banks lolNot a fan of tech.
