I've got a property under contractPurchase price $78K out the door (I have cash to close) Intent: build on the property which already has a functioning well, septic, and needs PGE installed Total buildout on the property utilities: $128K including the original land purchase price.

I would also try to minimize expenses through decreasing cleaning costs, installing smart tech like a thermostat to control utility costs, etc.5.

By exploring options for cost-effective utility usage, such as installing low-flow fixtures and implementing irrigation systems, we can significantly save on water expenses.To keep things running like a well-oiled machine, you’ve got to have a rock-solid asset management plan.

If you're going to install it from under the house, get some line wire and make sure it doesn't fall out down the road....

One more thing I should address:  Installing cameras inside of a residence with other tenants can be a HUGE legal violation.  

“I’m literally the nation’s leading expert in tax liens and tax deeds,” he boasts in one installment.

Land is valuable as I could purchase a new mobile home and install and less costs since utilities are already on the land. 

It wasn’t how I wanted to kick things off, but I worked with a contractor to get the bathroom fixed and functional.Once that was behind me, I focused on improving the building and maximizing income:I installed a shared washer and dryer for the tenants, a major upgrade that added convenience and increased the property’s value.I rented out the two garage parking spaces, bringing in consistent revenue.I also raised rents for the second- and third-floor tenants I inherited to be just below market-rate.

I removed the chimney entirely and installed a full HVAC system, making it the only house on the block with modern heating and cooling.

Typically with houses of this age - you'll need structural folks to dig and install piers into the soil.
