I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Do a cash out refinance to offset any credit card or installment loan with a rate above 9% to offset the loss until you have the ability to sell ot or transition into a STR.

Check out local auctions those attending are cash buyers get their criteria. 

This is a simple letter that says you are ending their lease.

This can get pretty complex, pretty quickly, so just keep that piece in check for audit documentation and make sure you have good records on all of it.

@Srinath Gopinathan, I'm sure you can physically go to the assessor's office and get this information.

Check it at the door.

This is risky since we are out of state so I am looking for pointers on how the transition works on a section 8 and really anything else you think could help my research.
