Now if you really want something creative you could hire them and reduce their rent as payment, only if they are jobless and willing to work for you.

But after we had tenants whose various dogs ate my porch swing, the plug off a window air conditioner (haven't a clue why the dog didn't fry himself on that one), dug holes in carpets down to the subfloor, ate the bottom off a closet door, chewed open a door and got under the house in the summer heat to stay cool and crushed a duct pipe and (in one case) were kept under the house so I got to clean feces and urine out from under there on my hands and knees....we rethought our  idea of the need for a pet fee.Gail

You don't have to hire a licensed deleader every time, the state usually gives landlords 30 days to fix any issues discovered during the PCLI themselves.

The air handler/coil is a 4 ton and the AC and heater are 3 1/2 ton. 

I would HIGHLY recommend hiring a good property manger immediately!  

The county has to notify any mortgage companies of the pending tax sale and if they choose to do nothing then when the tax deed is issued the mortgage is wiped out.Pretty much the only liens that would be senior to a tax lien is a IRS or State income tax lien.All other liens are wiped out when the higher priority tax Deed is issued.I also have a good working relationship with my county officials.

The important part is to prevent warmer, moister air from traveling to cooler surfaces where it will condense.
