@Nathan G.Any properties of ours with 2+ units (depending on the type of bill and how many people are on the lease) need to be broken down when we receive the bulk utility charge. 

If you plan to send mail to potential sellers, a mail list broker can provide reports broken out by zip for a couple counties.

Generally, materials are broken down into two categories:Rough Materials (lumber, nails, screws, brackets, piping, fittings, mortar, wiring, outlets, switches, drywall, etc.)Finish Materials (tile, grout, flooring, paint, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, door knobs, etc.)The way that I structure my contracts is that I buy the finish materials and have my Contractor provide all rough materials.I think it's strange your Contractor wants you to buy piping, brackets, etc, because I would classify that as rough materials.There's no way I would ever want to be responsible for buying all of the piping, fittings, elbows, p-traps, etc for my Contractor...I would be at Home Depot all day buying and returning stuff! 

Cutting the trees, fix broken doors, touch up. 

I ruled out some of the cities and towns where BP investors seem to be flocking to, because it gets cold in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and that means broken water pipes, accidents, leaks, and especially the neighborhoods these $50k and $60k houses are in.

rehabbed the trashed studio into a 1 bedroom, made repairs to broken exterior staircases, coin operated laundry room, and fixing up the garage for extra income.

If there are signs it's operating as a personal account (ie. cash withdrawals and , or appears to be (eg. expenses paid personally) your LLC, if challenged in a suit, could be broken and charges put against you as sole proprietors.

i would connect the two so that it turns on when the light is turned on, if separate chances are they are not using it.as far as the bedrooms, i don't know the construction out there, but i'm guessing the walls are not that well insulated and with the a/c inside and hot humid outside, that can cause this if not broken by a well insulated wall. this is a major health problem inside and needs to be addressed, see if there are any energy co. out there that will test the insulating value in the house where they install a fan at the door and check the house for leaks and insulation value.

I t doesn't guarantee that they wont be broken into, but it makes it more likely the thief will choose an easier targetAnd buying and installing them doesn't cost much more than dealing with a broken door and door jamb from someone kicking the door in

I'm having a tough time finding something up to date and easy to decipher that's broken down by city, or at least county.
