Purchase price, sale price (ARV), market (demographics, job growth, housing supply/demand etc..) any deal can work as long as you can buy a property for less than you can sell it for but it may take some research.4.

The demand for livable homes is magnified The ones that are fastest to market will demand the highest price Simple supply and demand

By the way I never had problems finding tenants in the winter - there is much less supply which you would have to compete with.

Impossible to say for sure without seeing a picture but most likely there was a loose connection at the screw terminal where the supply wires attach to the breaker. 

The rent price is all inclusive and offers utilities, supplies (toilet paper/paper towel), cleaning services (common areas normally).

(Everyone seems to think this, not just you.)Here's a page from Cleveland Tenant Rights saying the landlord can require the tenant to pay water as long as it's separately metered: http://www.clevelandtenants.org/for-tenants/tenant...Here's a page from Garfield Heights specifically, saying the same thing: https://www.ghmc.org/renting/renting-basics/rights...You must supply water, but you also must supply heat and electricity.

The tenants will supply their own appliances.

If water is an issue you can set something up by running a hose from a neighbor to your main water supply that comes into the house if others have water.
