@Lisa Oliver I put electronic deadbolts on my unit doors. 

@Carlos Rodriguez we've got Canadian clients from Toronto and Vancouver.Have tax attorney, CPA, etc. to assist also:)DM us if interested in chatting...

Did the son in one of your 4 units declare bankruptcy?

I started off with house hacking a duplex in Malden a few years back and have been able to acquire 14 more units since then.

For example, if I purchase a site entitled to 100 dwelling units under a newly formed holding company and the only thing linking me to it is a shared PO box mailing address on the holding entity, the lender gets alerted.

I have had 3 people email me this weekend who are over leveraged and also cash strapped in that they have repairs of $5k or more, o cash to repair and without repairing cannot release unit.

I own 2 multi family buildings with 14 total units. 

Consider house hacking where you buy a multi-unit property and rent out the others.

As a would be individual landlord with just a one unit single family property I don’t know I can stomach the risk or withstand a financial assault resulting from an eviction process for a non-paying tenant (or tenants that do extensive damage).I am seriously considering bowing out and selling.

The IRS disaster assistance page and hotline are key resources for those seeking guidance.One significant benefit for those who have experienced property damage is the potential to claim a casualty loss deduction.
