Typically romex and copper wiring was introduced and most systems have been grounded - this will save you on electrical costs. 

I could just put it in that box of my spreadsheet to account for the expense and then in most other ways, it's the same issues - capital savings, maintenance, vacancy, etc? 

Hey Chad,I made my unit all electric, which definitely saved some time.  

I would save up more.

I'm not talking about saving for savings sake, but actively considering how a dollar can reproduce itself so that you can not only have whatever it is you want to buy, but also put more of the reproductions to work making more dollars and still have the original dollar.

You guys want to invest/retire so the equity can be invested in the next deal.

We are now looking to get serious about funding our retirement.

Can you imagine taking a couple days off work, looking for a new place, paying for new applications, putting down deposits, renting a moving truck, finding friends to help you move, paying to clean your old place, and so on to “Save” $300/yr? 

The ultimate goal here is to retire as soon as possible and not wait to grow equity over 5-10 years to be able to retire. 

I learned I could save $10 and time by doing the bank transfer from home, but still I'd be out $53 every time I pay.
