We’ve noticed water seeping issues through the shower tiles, causing damage to the sheetrock in our only bathroom on main floor.

On the bathroom window that overlooks her window, put some removal glazing on your window (there is a vinyl that you spray water on the window, apply the vinyl and smooth it out-completely removable). 

There are a lot of condos closer to the water and I wasn’t sure if those were long term or short term rentals.

@Bryson WilliamsTypically you would have your tenants pay their own utilities since you wouldn't want to cover someone's high water or electricity/gas bills but some cities will put a lien on your property if certain utilities aren't paid.

A water heater costs the same, wether your rent is $800 or $1800 or $2800. 

Landfills make me think: odor, smoke, noise, bugs, and water supply contamination.Construction on top of landfill: additional costs, abnormal settling, off gassing, heavy metals, and surface leaching if a capping fails.

Then we had a bunch of cap ex (roof, water heater, appliances) all needing to be replaced within a 2 year period.

Hi Aaron,Jump in -- the water is fine! 

But if you're Househacking then you need to take away the income for one of those units because you'll be living in that unit.I don't see water, sewage or garbage either.
