Let them know the situation and that they are legally obligated to pay the charges or suffer the consequences.

The good news is, my girlfriend lives with me now....she had no idea she was going to learn a new trade!

Originally posted by @Sean Carroll:@Steven Lopez you could always open a self directed IRA (not sure on the max contribution) then place the profits in their to lessen the tax burden and still be able to use them to invest Income or gains from an active trade or business (such as flipping) inside of an IRA will be subject to UBIT, which tops at almost 40%, not exactly the best strategy.

Try not being a jack of all trades as this will get you no where fast.

Some people are so afraid of the idea of being out of compliance or sued that they blow the real risks and consequences out of proportion and end up hamstringing themselves when it's not necessary.

Well....given Trump's stance on trade, and the tax cuts recently put into place has put CAD into a precarious position. 

Let all the tenants know (in writing) that you will divide the total extermination bill by the number of tenants you have and charge each of them with 'additional rent'--they caused the mess, they get to pay for cleaning up the consequences of the actions or lack thereof.3. 

From my perspective, if you are getting a property at a price of 17K that has a ARV of 79K, there must be a lot of work needed (and possibly other factors that make the property non-desirable at the moment).Although you can make a lot of money via fix and flip through problem-solving, I think you will need to disclose more information about the property (address, info on rehab cost, how are you are getting this ARV, etc) before you can get a good answer to your question.I would suggest connecting with a local realtor there for more help, or seek out someone on BP who is active from the area (even a property manager could help) to assist you with sorting this out.I have some experience with fix and flips in my past, and they are absolutely nothing to play with for the beginner unless you have a lot of cash set aside for the unexpected (and there will be unexpected costs) or some experience in a trade where you can offset cash for your labor.Good luck and happy hunting! 

You are in your own little corner of the world (and possibly in your own world altogether), and can do whatever you want (and whatever consequences may follow). 

Consequently, it's convenient for me to do some general work and show the property.Thank you, again, for your responses!
