OP said income will quadruple in 2019, read that as meaning debt will be paid off.

I would try to find sellers who are open to owner financing or pre foreclosures with some equity where you could take over their payments subject to the existing mortgage. 

Then they pay whatever amount over the $90 bill quarterly and you invoice them for water used.Both options ensures that the water bill is being paid by you so no liens are assessed and the tenant is responsible for their own water use.

But even before I do that I want to be crystal clear about the most important thing, how will i get paid?

Good Evening All!I am looking for creative/low cost ways to fund a spec home and have a question about pulling equity out of my current residence.I have a newly built homestead house that was just appraised at $260k. ...

Since the tenant hasn't paid in 3 months.  

Is it possible to get tricked into releasing it without being paid?

All the time learning and driving around finally paid off!

Tenant we inherited never paid and the property manager never informed us. 

Agents get paid only when you close the deal, all the time we show the properties - pretty much waste.
