I've been "analyzing" some properties on Zillow for practice and to see if this would even be feasible for me to accomplish, I haven't found any properties under 4 beds that would cash flow, however there are properties that have more rooms within my pre-approval price range that look a lot better on paper.

Hey @Jay Ritchie - From our experience here in Chicago, we typically see new water/sewer lines range in cost from $16-24k depending on the depth of the trench, distance from the street to house, and just different contractors.What area of the city are you in?

Average price in West Houston is around $314k, but wondering if I should look for something in the $250k range.
