In four years, the only expense I had was the water heater going out.

I'm fine with a base hit, and I think even moving into the future I could still raise rents a little more and separate the water so tenants pay that directly.

A good attorney can help you clean up and start fresh.  

It sounds like you're trying to preserve this 'existing' lease instead of allowing the daughter's life change to terminate the lease and start fresh with a new tenant.

My previous tenant didnt pay their water bill for $525, I'd like to go after them for a judgement. 

Hi - I recently had a rental property basement damaged due to street flooding which caused water in the basement and therefore damaging furnace and hot water tank.

I have done all the leading to water I can do, if you want to drink sand and spit mudd that's your option, I tried.  

The 2 smaller units both received a face lift with a fresh coat of paint, new hardware, and new counter tops and both rent for $900/each.After all the renovations, the estimated ARV is currently sitting at $550k-$570k. 

Just bought my first 3 properties for STR and would love some insight on pitfalls to avoid and things to focus on (my properties are by the beach or on the water.

So I'm thinking of setting a fixed monthly surcharge for heat and hot water, plus a charge for the 'free' laundry I provide.
