Utility improvements.

I do own two triplexes in Scranton, and I will say the one issue is that you are going to be taking care of the utilities normally if they are not on separate meters, which could take a good amount of money away from your overall cash flow. 

This was my first time buying a property solely for an investing purpose, and Melissa Justice was the person that I was connected with to help me pick out properties.

I would like to purchase my first property sometime next year, utilizing this year to learn and network as much as I can.

If I would have used competent management, the manager that I picked and vetted, then it would have cash flowed, assuming they could have filled the vacancies.The big lesson I learned is that the property manager selected can make or break a deal. 

Just love to see how deals are viewed, as I have been told by partners and colleagues of different numbers pertaining to a deals MAO.Interested in picking your brain sometime whenever you are available. 

They put utilities in their name and keep them paid.

BUT, get a solid quote on utilities.

On utilities, I bought a foreclosure in NJ and found out it was not attached to Town sewer and I actually had to extend the main line up to my property then put the lateral in and abandon an old cesspool.  

You say things like "It was understood that I would continue to utilize the garage and one room for storage as I transitioned to living out of state."
