Plus, it leaves a lot of stains and needs to be consistently cleaned especially near water. for lighting it's really important what kind of temperature color you choose.

We have been lobbying for higher standards.

Roll it into the rent with a lease clause that anything over $X is split 50/50 between both tenants and you don't care who uses more water...In short, spend some money and make it a legal duplex or at least make it two separate units.

The Alabama Supreme Court has been looking for a test case so they can pivot to more rigorous pleading standards. 

Upgrades/repairs include:flooring (tile and carpet, entire house), painting (entire house), complete kitchen renovation with new appliances, cabinets, sink, lightingcomplete bathroom renovationsupgrade/replace ACupgrade/replace existing hot tub  upgrade/replace furniture/bedsupgrade/replace old pier with newadd new kayaks, paddle boards, and bikesI am thinking anything that is removable (furniture, appliances, water toys, bikes, pier, etc) could qualify as an asset for the LLC and thus be used as a tax expense for the LLC.  

Also ask them who gets to set rent amounts and the reno standards of their properties.

How do I handle the water being in my name as well?

@Jim Stanleyyes, you start with a standard purchase contract, that calls for clear title, and title insurance.  

Is there a standard letter that I need to send tenants a month before the end of their lease to remind them to move out by the end of the term?
