Somebody somewhere had to pay for that real estate at some point and has continued to pay for it since.

If I identified the offender, I would probably bill them back for the wasted water and when they didn't pay evict them, or non-renew them if their lease was near the end because that is simpler. 

I use all the rental cash flow to pay these loans off asap, then repeat.

My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

The way I see it as a wholesaler is that my buyers are people who I am striving to buy one day so I pay close attention when they tell me something.

I've never been to a pay laundry that didn't take twice as much drying as washing but not 10 times.   

Simply agree to pay too much and get it under contract and then call around and waste everybody’s time trying to unload it to end Buyer.

Others focus on boosting W-2 income, paying down other debts, or refinancing to lower monthly obligations.

Tenant pays all utils except water.  

On these very forums you hear countless stories of "I lost 5K and can't pay for me medical expenses".
