If they deliberately do something to damage the AC, then yes I would expect them to pay for it. 

The damage to the sheet rock in the basement wasn't bad, and I set up a bunch of fans and ventilation in order to prevent mold from growing.I went to check on the first floor apartment to see if there was any damage and luckily there wasn't.

And yes, I will pursue damages to the fullest extent of the law. 

I entered into a contract with a reputable builder ( at least I thought at first) in SW Florida.

I doubt I'll ever get my back rent and damages back either, but I figure if they ever get their lives back on track or they win the lottery :-) I'll be in line to collect.

As a hard money lender who works with many investors in the Portland area, I can share some insights on maintenance costs for multifamily properties in this market, though individual experiences may vary:Lots of investors report a slight decrease in maintenance costs during winter months, bc of:- Fewer landscaping needs - Less wear and tear on HVAC systems (as heating is generally less intensive than summer cooling)- Reduced tenant turnover in winterWinter-specific issues can arise:- Potential roof repairs due to heavy rain or occasional snow- Gutter cleaning and maintenance to prevent water damage- Heating system repairs or maintenancePortland-specific factors:- The mild climate helps reduce extreme weather-related maintenance issues. - Older housing stock in some areas may require more upkeep. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!

You can easily replace a damaged tile with peel & stick unlike regular tile or LVP. 5.

In your case though, you have to be careful when it comes to risks as there's other people's money on the line, as well as your reputation and your ability to raise money in the future.Hope this helps.

I am the process of exploring an opportunity to flip a fire damaged property.
