You will need to make sure that are no gaps in windows, doors, etc and that the HVAC system is well maintained as a tenant could argue that lack of remediation is the culprit for a high utility bill.

Hi Gina,After managing hundreds of properties and working with investors for over 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your background and the systems you’ve built—especially having three contractor teams ready to go.

If it’s an older property or has deferred maintenance, you might want to lean toward the higher end.When it comes to CapEx (capital expenditures), planning for major replacements like roofs, HVAC systems, and appliances is key.

Mound systems aren't doable either?

Working to systemize this business to run efficiently with future limited supervision to then take the cashflow/profits to continue investing in building our long term rental portfolio as well as invest in other business endeavors.

I strongly advise anyone purchasing an old house to flip to ensure they have a clear understanding of the condition of the home's drainage system.

A double-entry system (like QuickBooks) allows you to reconcile your bank statements, ensuring no missing or duplicate transactions.

If I decide to do the repairs and continue renting it, I will cash flow positive a bit, but to get to that point I would have to spend thousands (replace entire electric system, roof replacement, etc). 

I have septic tank separate for each unit in the back  with dozing tank with motor in middle Elgin septic system in the front of building.

Many times this is more that the number of years the system will be operational.
