@Greg W.I would install another water meter and run the commercial unit(s) on separate meters and have the commercial tenants pay for the water. 

The 50% "rule" s only a target.

I think if you were such a prominent investor, you wouldnt have so much free time to s*** on people trying to find financial independence. 

I've laid down floors (laminate, doing luxury vinyl plank this month in my basement) I've installed base and crown molding, I tore down and rebuilt our closet in our bedroom and built custom doors, I installed wainscoting in my sons room and actually built a bar, server and dining table for our dining room!

Looking to buy a property in Gulf Shores, AL to turn into a STRWanted to see if anyone has had any luck on a property like this in Gulf Shores.Thx

The borrower had passed away and the son had taken over the mortgage payments.

Mom & Dad, sister and her husband, son and his wife plus their little kiddos.

That court case will take years to go through the system leaving the the "wronged"  individual in the lurch.What if a 'ner do well son tells the buyer that he represents the interests of the mother and she wants a "private sale" "to save real estate agent fees" so he hands over a deed supposedly signed by her, it's a cash deal so there is no title check done and, well, there you go..  

Since my husband has hvac experience, he decides to take time off work and do the install himself. 4 days before the install we get a text on a 76 degree day that his infant son went to the ER because he overheated due to having no AC.

The heir to the father's estate never responded to any letters from lender during lis pendens process and the estate was never opened and property was not probated so the only heir does not have title to the property, however; the lender did accept the offer, ordered an appraisal and when I sent them a document that showed the son as the only heir they stopped asking even though it had not been probated and transferred to the son.
