To reiterate, the key is to make it as easy as possible for the tenants if you want to minimize negative responses.

If I was living in this house, I wouldn’t replace this lateral line as the health risk is so minimal, however I don’t want to open myself up to any future litigation on “phantom” health problems the tenant would claim.  

The last thing you want is to drag someone else into this and for them to chicken out and waste your time or get involve and lose money and blame you. 

Scenario 1: 2 houses with mortgages, very minimal but positive return on both ($4k annual net profit) Scenario 2: sell 1 house, use equity to pay off other house ($14k annual net profit) Which one would you do?

@Gregory WilliamsWholesaling provides you instant cash with minimal risk. 

I usually just advertise it as a 2 bedroom unit with a storage/office/den/extra room, but it just feels like there is so much wasted space. 

Account Closed get a great local inspector and make sure he/she checks out all the major systems as opposed to wasting time looking at paint chips and door hardware. 

I have read widely different prices for installed window cost and don't want to overpay or waste time.Any recommendations?

This is just dumb, and is a huge waste of time that rarely actually saves money for the investor.

@Patrick SearsIt’s different for each Individual but if your full time job doesn’t max you out in social security you can look at an S Corp and speak to a CPA to see if there are ways to minimize taxable income.With notes really not much you can do if your looking to sell them vs holding them long term.
