Maybe find out you didn't replace cathodes, and the water is harder there.

You should be calculating Cap Ex for all long term items that will need replacement at some point - appliances, roofs, ac, water heater, etc.

Hvac, Insinkerator, furnace, water heater, toilet, fiberglass tub, roof, driveway, etc...Here's a link: https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/EUL_FOR_CNA_E_TOOL.PDF You might also want to consider a home inspection for each unit with a written report, and a sewer cam report.Good Luck!

Yes for houses directly on the water (such as the bay) and in a flood-zone.

Plan your renovation timeline to list properties during peak buying months - also take into consideration that snow and rain will affect your rehab.Another way that you will want to take climate into account is  that given the cold winters, energy-efficient improvements like insulation and modern HVAC systems can be attractive to buyers.

Of the 3 cities, I am leaning towards Charleston since it is bounded at least partially by water and wetlands which would prevent large-scale urban sprawl and increased supply of housing.

Keep all lavatories, sinks, toilets, disposals, pump systems, and all other water and plumbing apparatus in good order and repair and shall use same only for the purposes for which they were constructed.
