I also HATE paying the mechanics shop to do anything on my vehicle, and there is auto stores.

Right now I'm fixing the valve seats in a 2 handle shower faucet, mechanic.

Have you had an inspection or gave it a close look.As a newbie just try to make sure the mechanicals are not old as dirt. 

I have found contradicting answers to this question:In Illinois, do mechanics liens stay with a house after a foreclosure sale?

But you should ask about the age of the roof, mechanicals, any major improvements that have been done.

If it was mechanical, I recommend the home inspector re-inspect. 

Second The moratorium is exclusive to eviction, it only puts a ban on that 1 mechanism alone. yes, for long this has been "the" mechanism for enforcement but there is still several available and I am finding they are cheaper and more effective than eviction. 

We are now working with our PM and getting estimates for mechanical updates to provide a better experience for our residents.

As a landlord, you are generally responsible for mechanical repairs. 

LOMAs, foundation flood vents, fill, raising mechanicals and other methods can potentially save a property owner thousands annually.
