@Marc WinterI see a lot of older investors on here talking down at this guy, like yourself and others, and just think it’s harsh and uncalled for.

It is to my understanding that California is pretty harsh on LLC's which might not make it financially worth it for me to use one.let me know what your thoughts are.Thank you everybody.

Without sounding too harsh, you need to save money, the reality is, in this business you need access to money at any given time, or you are setting yourself up for failure, and I dont mean just the down payment.

Cleaning the coils chemically and regularly, helps extend the life of the unit (particularly if located on the outdoors on the ground, in an area dogs roam) and depending on the age and type of unit there may be other internal points of maintenance to perform as well.

I apologize for my harsh comments previously.

It sounds harsh but they are the ones taking advantage of you.

This is less harsh than saying "No" and is more easily accepted.

YOUR in MICHIGAN,,, not Florida, or CaliforniaRenters can't and don't like to pay to heat them put chemicals in or clean them.Insurance isn't that expensive but the headache and potential for injury or loss of life would make me FILL IT IN.I've managed complexes with pools,, and our company had one death at another complex,, All I can say is fill it in

Buying a building with a huge old gas tank, lead, asbestos, chemicals, lead paint can cost a lot more than $200,000.
