I would say about $8k average, sometimes reaching towards $20k depending on length of run and the difficulty of tie-in to the City main.I would not, as a buyer, wnat to take a chance on this..even if they are working well now, it is a ticking time bomb and a large expense.So I would wrap your head around the concept of offering a credit towards this item.

Myth: You never have to worry about getting your rent when you have section 8 tenants.Reality: rent payments can get suspended if the unit fails annual inspection, even if the items that caused it to fail are the tenants fault.Reality: the tenant portion of the rent is never guaranteed.Reality: if a tenant wants to leverage you for an upgrade, like a new stove or a new refrigerator, they can cause housing payments to get suspended by filing a complaint with their caseworker.
