It failed and ran the A/C and heat simultaneously for an entire month before I discovered the problem.

@Joe Benyi I think you're on the path to discovering the same thing most experienced investors in the Houston market have: buying inside the loop (610), especially in the Greater Heights/Rice Military/Montrose area, is almost exclusively an appreciation play. 

After the vacancy is filled and the utilities are transferred to the tenants name, what happens with that next bill since there will be a % of days that the LL and TT is responsible for?

He's a 23-year-old kid buying his first investment, he discovered a situation, and needs to figure out how to legally and ethically move forward. 

We discovered in this process that the two couples have to actually buy the property, but then we can turn the ownership over to the LLC. 

The LL is usually more motivated to sell when they are doing an eviction than when things are running great.Similar to evictions but not quite as large a negative for the LL, for rent notices in duplexes. 

That would pretty clearly be a LL responsibility based on what you posted.

I want to make residual income and if ever an opportunity presented itself to own some property, I would keep a lookout and that is when I discovered the mobile home for sale on the Yard Sale website!

I have a VA Loan benefit with being in the military but I've discovered recently though that due to being overseas and not having a spouse or dependent to occupy, I won't be able to use it from here, from the research I've gathered.

They did go back to the property for me and discovered that the hose to the tenants swamp cooler was left running and water was going everywhere.
