Here is the link to the DRE's website in order to add context:http://search.dre.ca.gov/MultiLenderThresholdBrokers.aspJust because they are listed here, does not mean they have not put their investors in hot water and are still lending.  

I had a leaky toilet in a flip I was working on...Turned out to be a 1300 water bill..We have no idea how long this will last. 

My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

hey everyone, im about to close on my second rental, this place is a SFH with a holding tank,  i plan on having the tank pumped before renting it out.  in the lease i want to include the renter to have the tank pumped...

In other words, if you replace a water heater, make sure you're replacing it with a like water heater.

I'm not HVAC specialist but from my understanding the chiller systems have shared water pipes but not necessarily shared duct work.

I sure don't want to be worrying about it in July, keeping me from water fun and bbq's 😎 

Up here, I am hearing from closing attorneys that no cities are performing water readings, smoke inspections, etc... and appraisers and home inspectors are not moving either...I can only imagine the Housing Authority...I would generally plan on at lease 1 months elapsed time with a Section 8 tenant under NORMAL conditions. 

, FAR (floor area ratio which is the max SF for the lot), lot occupancy (how much area can the building take up on the lot), green area ratio or pervious surfaces (a lot of places now require soft scale or where water can collect and not drain to the storm drain), parking requirement per unit (can the parking be offset if near public transportation), affordable housing, any view corridors to preserve, is it a historical neighborhood, minimum size per unit, and any public enhancements required?

Room renters would have Water/Sewer/Garbage and electricity included4.)
