I can’t afford new ones so painting is the next best solution.

I certainly could not afford for NYS to say "no rent, not now, not later" for three months for everybody.

We're in Virginia, which I know doesn't have the most victim-friendly personal injury laws, and there is definitely no way she could afford to hire an attorney to represent her.

Not because we can't afford it, but because we prioritize our money to other things such as real estate investing.

MOST LL's WOULD ALLOW NON-PAYING TENANTS TO MOVE OUT... the reality which you fail to mention but which you are likely very aware as well as all other LL's is... that most non-paying tenants will not move out, so back to taking responsibility for your own situation... if a Tenant is unable to afford it and all the options offered to them just aren't their 'cup of tea' they can always downsize i.e. end lease and move out - most don't as we all very well know.  

It was a live-in flip, and it took several months, because I made repairs as I could afford them.

I would love to offer our stand alone unit at a significantly reduced fee for Covid-19 responders but I can't afford to offer it for free.

That would be what makes the decision for me - how fair is the asking price and can I afford the reno costs.

2) For LLC’s taxes as a disregarded entity where taxes are paid on the owner level does the money have to do distributed to the owner so they can afford to pay the tax or can the LLC pay it?

I'm still seeing a low supply and high demand for affordable housing ($150k-350k depending on the area).What are you seeing in the market?
