Interesting about the wind-down structure, I'll look into that more. some existing HMLs that don't have cooperating banks right now and probably would be glad to have it.  

But after working with the family, we purchased it for $42,000 and got to work.We had some unique challenges, like dealing with one of the heirs who wasn’t very cooperative and required a payoff to sign the paperwork we needed for clear title.

Hey @Dan Cooper Congrats on taking your 1st steps into REI! 

., get them in place before discussing an increase with the tenant because it's much easier to get inspections and repairs done when the tenant cooperates.

How to file a complaint:Fill out a Condominium/Cooperative Complaint Form.

Ask an attorney for the cost breakdown, factor in holding costs, assume they'll do more damage on the way out and then ask for a bit more for the headache.But again, especially with no experience with evictions and it sounding like a mess, I would be very tempted to just walk if the tenant is not going to cooperate. 

This is something I try to live by and teach my kids if I can - "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Yes, having tenants pay ACH via a Tenant Portal software is best, but not all will cooperate and some will play games that result in NSF charges.We allow tenants to deposit cash/check/money order directly at our bank into our account.Many Class C & D tenants have challenges adapting to unfamiliar ways to pay and is often not worth the hassle (and possible evictions) to get them to change:(

Technically as the manager of the LLC you can open an accout with any financial institution though they don’t all cooperate when it’s an IRA owned LLC.
