No water bill, taxes would drop 75%, and no more mortgage.

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?

I'm also wondering if anybody knows the costs and rules for bringing in water and power to a piece of land in these areas, I know it's different for each property but is there any possible way to get estimates on bringing in water and power to a piece of land I want to purchase before actually buying the property so I can create a general budget for buikding a home.

Clean roof of debris, including broom cleaning areas where dirt and dust accumulates from ponding waters.3.

This can reduce rates, improve cash flow and un-encumber properties for other usages. - Borrow more or less than you need.

But the simplest test is going to be to turn on the water and see where it starts gushing.

I am leaning heavily towards doing submetering of gas and water on the property and billing the tenants back based on the usage.

On the other hand, our house has a brand new roof, brand new hot water heater and recently renovated kitchen with newer appliances.

Normally does not wipe out government liens like IRS, demolition, mowing, preservation, etc.Some place it also does not wipe out water/sewer/utility liens.IRS I believe has 120 days to act after the foreclosure, I can think the other ones sunset.

$1,000 a month is on the lighter side and upwards of $2,000 isn't unheard of.On the upside the fees often include utilities, internet, water, heat etc.
