Good morning Sweet Nothings,
Abby you said "Sometimes my husband and I feel forced to play good cop, bad cop." That never worked with us since neither of us were able to pull off being the bad cop. I swore when we left Brooklyn that I would never, ever be a landlord again. We were terrible landlords -- "Can't pay your rent? Oh, than you must be hungry -- here, eat something -- oh, and since you're broke, here's $20 for your pocket."
Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but not by much. I advise anyone who wants to make money in real estate to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS). No tenants, no overflowing toilets, no sob stories, no skipping town on the rent. LOL
But do hope you prevail against the water company. Good documentation, for me, is key. Go get 'em tiger!
