At that point we tested the waters and gave them the option to keep the money or to reinvest it in another property.

The issue seems to be that apartment owners don't want to be bothered, even though EV charging is an amenity like a tanning booth, pool, deck, hot tub, laundry area or whatever.

But ultimately all tenants leave, all debt comes due, and you're going to need to backfill it, so who is that, what pool of tenants could you consider?

Some agents and brokerage companies already require buyers to be pre-qualified but it severely limits your pool of buyers if you do.

If that equity position in any property can be reapplied towards another asset or pool of assets to generate a higher net yield, it should be reapplied. 

I stopped at the "right" part.You need to start interviewing PMs in Austin, getting a feel for prices to renovate(hvac, water heater, floors for material + labor, etc.).

I am planning to convert the living room in the property to bedrooms and want to use the garage as common space (have a pool table or a Foosball table, a couch etc).

For example, if yours has a pool and the other comparable doesn’t… maybe yours will be worth more…You need to reach out to local property managers, real estate agents, and fellow investors who are familiar with the area.

And no remote,.....well the kids were the remote.. once I used a pool cue as a remote LOL 

If the mold is caused by a leaking pipe or water getting in from outside, then you should hire a contractor to stop that intrusion immediately, then dry out the home and remediate the mold at your expense.I also recommend reading and sharing the EPA Mold Guide.
