There is one meter, so we tried to look at putting a digital submeter, but every plumber says it won't work in our situation. 

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Happy to discuss this further on what might make the most sense for your end goal.If you are renting right now and starting your path in real estate investing, as said above, I really do like the house hacking strategy for your situation.

I see many situations where one generation wants to buy out a prior generation or, more typically, siblings.

Based on your situation, you will likely need to recapture the depreciation when you convert the property from a rental (STR) to your primary residence in 2025. 

I can's imagine a situation where all 4 tenants have elected to hand wash their clothes and use the dryer (there is no utility sink in the laundry room).Can you think of any reasons why the dryer would be used that much more/washer used that much less?...

But…If you haven’t noticed, we have been in a bit of a precarious situation these last few years.

I am not typically litigious, but this situation is unacceptable.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

You're definitely not the only one in this religion so there's other people that will likely be dealing with alcohol-free life and navigating that situation.
