Trust me this happens and have caught friends and neighbors using washers/dryers.If your audit does not find the leak, see if you can build out coin-ops in the basement and slowly remove machines from the units.Also regarding the heat and hot water.

However, the latter is probably a better definition for a property that no one has shown any substantive interest in, by other occupying, renting out, paying property taxes for the last year or two, or recently recording a transfer deed or mortgage that would suggest that they do have an active interest.I still prefer the term 'orphan' property that I coined for the "don't wanter" type houses.

Just give me 1 ounce gold coins or 10 ounce and 100 ounce bars of silver.

Side note on laundry, ask that they throw in machines that accept credit or loaded cards if you can in place of or along with coins.

Time to drop a little coin in a marketing campaign.

Thanks to everyone for weighing in, thankfully I'm not really involved in this situation, but since I hope to own some rental properties someday, it's good to see how to handle it.I definitely agree with Jerry W. about Dave Ramsey, actually our boss offered him a free financial peace University class, but you have to be ready to make a change before any of that excellent advice works.As someone who was a renter for 8 years (I can honestly say I was a good tenant, a roof over your head comes first) it's very interesting to see the other side of the coin.

If you find something wrong with the books and negotiate concessions before spending on inspections and other items then you at least know before dropping a ton of coin that the seller wants to play ball.No legal advice

I probably could have sold and made some small coin but I didn't want to mess with it anymore.

old coins that have much value have take my interest lately!

I'm going to use "title company" and "deed of trust" since that's how its done here in CO. In
