Finally, someone answered the question. 

@Eddie Lozada what did you go with finally?

I have been researching tankless heaters, and I'm leaning towards an electric tankless heater to save space and finally be able to wash laundry in-house.

It's tricky because we are doing the pre-lease inventory of the premises during *my* purchase final walkthrough lol.

Work with a tax expert and real estate attorney to finalize the deal and navigate zoning or financing complexities.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

After a $500 plumber bill I no longer wish to continue stressing out about this business; at the beginning (10 years ago) it was fun and challenging, now, after seen how we are the ogres (landlords in general), the outrageous government response with the eviction moratorium during Covid, the raise in taxes and insurance, service people who charge you more than a brain surgeon, the fact that this country is becoming dangerously socialist and the tenant drama I finally decided It is time to look elsewhere for investments.I just cannot find any information of what to do when I sell my properties.

Lesson learned is to pay more to get into a nicer area (B neighborhood) with more reliable tenants to avoid the vacancy risks, but again, if we can just get the 2nd unit filled we will finally have stable cash flow.
