If you do, certainly don't make the fan come on every time someone turns on a light to wash hands or brush teeth.

If so, was he able to take the depreciation?

He said he was sick for a couple of past days, and he was. He

After a good wash of floors/walls, use an ozone generator to get rid of the smell.

Anyways that is neither here nor there bc the property is a complete disaster and I want to wash my hands of this transaction completely.

Jordan,There are single,double,and triple net leases.The ability to re-purpose the building fast and cheaply is key.Certain corporate tenants with the building design if they go out you have massive costs to get it to a rentable state for another tenant type.Case in point I know a Sonic building that has sat as a foreclosure for a year.To re-purpose it you would have to take out the drive thru stalls and the building itself is so small you can't do much with it.One key area I didn't see touched on is that YES with a TRUE triple net you do not pay for anything.With other single or doubles you might get a little more but pay for expenses so it's almost a wash in the end.The lease is guaranteed and you get mailbox money.The down side is these tenants have rents stay the same amount for long periods of time before any increases and when it does increase the rate is marginal.So when inflation kicks in year after year the returns are diminishing.If you are trying to protect your money they can be an excellent investment.Tell us more about your situation which will help.I like corner locations or right next to the corner as they hold value and are easier to re-purpose and re-rent.Even though the rent doesn't increase as much the land should be way more valuable in time unless the area dies off and growth migrates elsewhere.You can also assume loans at sometimes 90 ltv putting down just 10%.The reason is lenders see these loans as having little risk and low chance of default.I specialize in multi-family and also triple net so contact me with any questions you have.

I noticed that there are quite a few EV charge stations around Car Wash, Shopping Center, and some high traffic area.

I don't plan to change my exposure to equities, the proceeds from the sales would be reinvested in similar manner (without violating wash sale rules). 

Benefits for me: I own the property in 5 years, free and clear, only having to pay off property taxes and making some repairs--by that time I'm predicting the neighborhood will have appreciated quite a bitBenefits for the seller & caretaker: outstanding tax debt is washed away, a huge weight is lifted off their shoulders, and they can continue living in the house for another minimum 5 years without having to pay a dimeI'm still quite the noob at the whole REI game, and it sounds really weird but it seems like a win-win for both of us.
