Exceptions are when they cannot be put in the tenants' name (I have that for a few of mine, I get the bill, and the tenants pay me that amount) or if you have two units on the same meter so you don't know how much each unit uses.

Transitioning from one field to another can be daunting, but you've come to the right place to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded people.It's awesome that you've already dived into some real estate reading; that curiosity and willingness to absorb information will definitely help you as you figure out your next steps.

Hi Aaron,I’m curious to know what your experience was.  

Sold the property knowing that the comps were going to be over $400,000.

Would love to know if any bank exists that can do a cash out refinance where underwriting takes less than one week

It definitely is more mind set than it is real estate investing tips, but it was never commercialized as such.

Get an attorney and get in communication with their attorney and let them know the you want to pay off the loan.

Do you mind my asking what an attorney would charge to handle a non-contested eviction (ie. 3-day notice through the default judgement)?

The trenchless repair seems like a great solution and it’s cheaper, however, I don’t know the pros/cons of both. 

I don't know the details of your lease - rents, length of lease, triple net, commission amount - but if it makes financial sense and makes the customer happy then absolutely pay for it.
