During COVID of course the city wouldn’t allow me to shut off the water so I did have one low life rack up $600 and then left the property. 

The costs rack up pretty fast and you'll need to do it a few times before your phone starts to ring. 

Seller finance and only pay taxes on the portion received the first year (Maybe zero if they don’t last 9 months)Lastly they might be able to just rack up the bills up paid and have them paid by the estate. 

I struggle with just sitting by and waiting (especially knowing the fees rack up for my tenants the longer they go without paying!).

I do see some listings having fold-up suitcase racks instead as a compromise.

Plus it’s fun racking up profitable properties and helping people in the process.Yes, it takes some training, which has a cost and a little bit of time to learn, but it’s a life changer.

@Mike BossIn California I believe it’s $800 a year and rack on what your cpa will charge you and you are gonna run a $2k bill to do a LLCIf you are fixing and flipping lenders may require you to have a LLC.

I'm just surprised that in the dozens of youtube videos I watched re installing LVP over a wooden subfloor (and the 3 contractors I consulted, and the many home improvement forums I sought advice on :-), no one really mentioned using a 1/4" (or better) plywood underlayment, but since I've brought up my issues here on BP I've seen many folks mention that they ALWAYS do that by default. 

I'm racking my brain to think if I've ever seen a single story 4plex. 

Right now they are wooden windows, but not rotted out because they have water resistant paint on them.
