The other applicant had a bankruptcy in 2021 and has active trade lines (I can’t see the detail on when these went into collections). 

Tenants should pay for that.My lease considered normal to be a few items hung using 1" nails or smaller.

These tenants ahve all of the signs of never paying you or paying a little as their balance continues to rise.

We all work really hard to obtain assets, and I don't about you, but structuring your investments now can pay off in the end.

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Choosing the right lender for a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) can make a huge difference depending on your goals.

Maybe that is why the old owner didn't pay their taxes?

@Corby Goade I agree: paying a month for a professional pm to find someone to me is worth not only the time and effort but the cost.

If that's the case, you might as well just pay them.
