I have a house in an LLC, also I have a property management company.Ideally would be great not to open a separate bank account for each future property...But its is probably unavoidable....Anyway:1) HAndyman does the work on a property but there is not enough of money in the LLC's bank account.

We never pay heat and electric until unavoidable, but we do pay sewer & trash as in many areas they are leinable against the property, perhaps you can include those also instead of lowering the rent.We have a property (several) that have 2 acres of lawn

It is an older breaker so the tripping was their poor choice with the heaters but the failure was probably unavoidable at some point, things don't last forever. 

Unavoidable, IMO. 

With the extra savings from house hacking you can put that towards out of state property due to its lower entry costs.If you can afford property without an HOA I would definitely try to do that, but if its unavoidable and you can only afford a town home or condo, as long as you are paying less in comparison to what you are currently paying for rent, its a win-win in my book.Also, I dont think most HOAs have anything against renting out a room, but you can look up who the HOA where the property is for sale and give them a call and just ask them over the phone if they allow renters and what their policy is.I currently have a turnkey property in OKC through REI nation.

@Carl HoffmannThere are ways of getting into properties with less than 20% but the buyer should still have a solid reserve fund for the unforeseen and unavoidable problems that always happen with rental real estate.

The electrical issue was unavoidable since we couldn't proceed with work until it was corrected.  

The cost of the repair is unavoidable.

Each month the complaint is not addressed, an unavoidable fine is being issued. 

It always hard coming up with 20% but being new to the game it almost unavoidable.
