From General maintenance, tractor work, bookkeeping and business software tailored to our needs.I have recently taken a more hands on approach with the office complex as the former manager was not doing a great job.

That is a serious and complex venture for someone who wants to really focus on creating and running a significant business, and not just a "workaround" to be able to use IRA funds to flip houses and take an income.

Wouldn't hurt to check with an attorney, but I think you should be entitled to withold the last month's rent from the security deposit.I doubt that "afraid to live there" would hold up in court as a reason to break the lease unless the tenant could prove the unit is not secure. 

If the utility bills for the whole complex falls under your expense column you can look at options around splitting the line to save some money.  

This will straddle two tax years and that's another situation that will work to your advantage reporting wise and is a phrase that tax courts have used in the past to describe a valid exchange.  

I just finished purchasing my next project at the court house steps and will get started with the rehab soon.

There is a great Milwaukee community always happy to provide their honest opinions of the complex market and if you want old houses....Well, look no further than Milwaukee :)

I know the court house is the most current and best place to get them.  

In an apartment complex, each apartment is a unit.I've never heard it refer to each bedroom, however, maybe in a situation where you are renting rooms out in a house in a college rental situation, each room might be considered a unit.

I am looking to get educated on possibly buying my next flip at the court house steps or where ever I can get a good deal.
