Do you have any recommendations for contractors for roofing or plumbing/hvac?

HOA violations or fees racked up by tenantsF.

You are one failed AC/roof/6 month eviction from going bankrupt.

Sometimes a little incentive can make them leave peacefully.Raise the Roof (Rent, that is): If local laws allow, crank up the rent to make them consider greener pastures.

And you know you lose a whole lot of square footage because of the roof angle, right?

If you are tracking depreciation for purposes of repairs and maintenance (like anticipated timing of a new roof for example), you could probably get away with using excel and then just manually booking a journal entry.

You can keep all your properties under one roof, so to speak.Cost Considerations: Keep in mind that setting up an LLC comes with some costs, like filing fees and compliance stuff.

@James McGovern, while I don't necessarily agree with your language, I certainly understand where you are coming from.If you truly want to exploit them, then continually report code violations: long grass, broken windows, broken down cars parked on property, anything that will keep racking up the nuisance issues of the property that the landlord not only has to handle with effort but also with money...But, assuming you don't want to go to that level, find the owner and reach out.  

Texas had some hurricanes and I have properties (Market value $300K, Roof damages $25K).

What would you have done if your price was too high and you didn't know your roof was keeping people from making an offer to begin with?
