@Brad HammondYour pool of applicants and the ensuing mortgage is much easier and cheaper to get as a 4 unit vs 5.

Since the 2017-2018 winter season, I think we've spent less than $600 for electricity in the ensuing 12 months.Since our system went live in July 2017, we've produced 18.76 MWh.As to valuation of the property, that's another story entirely.We recently did a refinance to take some equity out to work on the property. 

This is not aligned with the owners interests and frustration is bound to ensue on the owner.There is a big opportunity for aligning owner and PM interests in this business and can make for a great partnership but a transformation needs to happen first. 

I look forward to the ensuing discussion.Joe

My wife and I rent in the LA area and entertained the idea of buying a house (laugh track ensues).

I am researching the person/business so a better discussion can ensue when we meet.Thanks in advance for any help in reducing the 'search space'.

I wish I could say it was a logical thought process that caused me to start an LLC, but actually a drug dealer took over two of three units in a house, turned it into a pharmacy(not a legal one, of course,) the cops initiated a no-knock warrant, they knocked the door down the day after Christmas, the pipes froze after the drug dealers were hauled off, and just general pandemonium ensued from there!

If I allow them to rent it and they refuse to pay rent, the legal quagmire that would ensue.

Not only were they woefully late but they did not notify anyone so the property sat there during a cold snap and busted pipes, water damage and mold ensued.

I try my hardest not to sell them, and if I do I make sure that my client is fully prepared for the madness that ensues.
