Home is 20 years old.Immediate repairs would be to upgrade the hot water heater, furnace, paint the deck and interior painting. 

But not blowing it out of the water like the Great Recession.

This said, we closed in mid-June, the occupants were removed by the Sheriff yesterday and we´ve been paying insurance, taxes, water and sewer on the house since closing. 4.

No homeowners insurance needed and the HOA is 180 that covers water/sewer and other maintenance.

@Stephen Jones what is the opportunity to do RUBs (bill back) the utilities, water, and garbage to the tenants?

Are they separately metered for water, or does the landlord currently pay that?

I have learned to work on the safety items first including electrical, necessary structural, Roof leaks, water system leaks etc.

It’s more efficient to spread your cash out, but to some people they don’t like carrying all of that debt where paying for cash would be more preferable.
