My initial thought was to start updating all new leases upon renewal, while this may be what I end up doing, all of my renewal dates are scattered far apart so I was hoping to get some advice on if there were any faster options to avoid waiting too long and causing reputation damage or lawyer issues in the long run where while I failed to do enough research I did not personally set these leases the way they are. 

@Neal Royal toilets running will cause double even triple bills.

I would make sure the repair person documents exactly what the issue is and the cause. 

Kind of like those teachers who felt like most of the class should get a "C" cause that is average kind of thing.  

I have a cat who has never caused property damage before and goes potty outside instead of a litter box so he doesn’t even stink up the place.

Any advantages to going the hard money route or just causing myself a headache and costing money?

I should clarify that I'm not worried about the $6k- it's just caused me to pause and think through the deal again... 

The only thing I can think of that caused this sudden water is the grounding rods. 

This will also cause you an in issue for conventional as most don't allow more than 4 borrowers and if under an LLC, you can't get a conventional loan as an LLC.Looks like you may be needing to go commercial. 

So you may be putting yourself at risk trying to use contracts not approved by the state or a buyer finding fault and causing you some issues.
