@Courtney Jones sorry miss read your post did not see the "not" primary, defiantly put in an LLC, you can easily do  a single member LLC yourself and you can actually treat a single member LLC as a "direguarded entity" for federal tax purposes meaning you can file it on your schedule e on your personal return.  

Verify everything with your R/E lawyer, but usually, you can refuse to renew for any reason, except a bad reason.  

Chimney: related to the furnaces, the chimney needs a flue liner, and some bricks replaced and a rain cover installed on the crown.Also, are landlords ever eligible for the RG&E rebates on installing or tuning up furnaces, or can we pass the savings on to tenants (http://www.rge.com/MediaLibrary/2/5/Content%20Mana...)?

Until you reach out (phone call, e-mail, letter), you won't know.

@Carolina E.  

Mainly because of lack of due diligence.. my question is would getting an O&E report on a prospect property be the best route to take?

If it were me, I'd tell my friend to act as if it's serious.HINT: That's why C/E Departments need to initiate legal actions in the first place...because people don't get off their butts!
