Most commonly, this will happen between tenants, as you search for new ones and do any repairs or upgrades on your property.

I recently encountered that the deadbolt on the door is broken and what happened was the door must have been slammed shut with the deadbolt open and it cracked the door as well as breaking the deadbolt.

Rents are about $1200 for a two bedroomWith a mortgage I can pay on my own, even if I lose both tenants, so up to $2000 per month in total expensesI want to ideally find the ugly duck in a cluster of nicer complexes, so, a property that is livable, but where I can add value with some light of medium remodeling and beautification/upgrades.

They told me that on a house flip, we can write off all repairs and upgrades.

The three simple houses next to mine, were all gutted and upgraded and not one of them or some of the others within a couple of blocks have been sold for three months.

These can be some jems that allow for upgrades to make it a duplex or a sfr with an accessory dwelling unit.

(that will depend on your state laws) My guess is they have probably broken some law by putting you into collections if they can't prove the amt due. 

The condition of the home is great, however I am going to upgrade my unit while living there.

Not sure a rental needs an upgraded master bedroom at the end of the driveway.

The major expenses were moving and upgrading the electrical, replacing the subfloor throughout the entire house, replacing windows, plumbing fixes, and replacing drywall throughout the home.
