Also, maxed out cards are bad for your credit score, potentially impacting your future ability to obtain a loan(mortgage) on good terms.Consider the alternative- a 20% down payment with that sort of coin could land you a house which sells for $150k.

I have a separate " House" meter for the the machines, furnace, hall entry and exterior lights and the gas only serves the furnace and dryers. stoves are electric and the tenants pay that. i think it would be easier on you to have separate meters for all ( electric, gas and water). and just a side note, to make it easier for them and you, i installed a coin machine next to them, then when i empty the laundry machines, i put the coins back in the coin machine and take the bills from the coin machine, into my pocket ( but i put back same amount of coins as bills removed from coin machine, never have to go to bank to get more coins) 

I work for a property mgmt co in CA and here on my thoughts based on how I would handle the situation.  

No coin-op laundry?

He got the CO in mid December, and started looking again for tenants, and found a few.

I know Anahiem is out of the way of San Diego but we use a company called Discount Window Co in Anahiem by angels stadium, and the windows are great quality for very cheap.

Arthur, some of the things you will want to look at:- Whether or not the electrical systems and plumbing systems are updated- Is there coin laundry (and if so, is it leased or owned)?

Hopefully you don't need my experience setting up a girlfriend in her own coin laundry.  

How about just take gold coins with you too.

It's also customary for the seller to pay for title insurance here, which generally means they pick the title co., in most transactions.
