People have tapped into everything they already have to get some money to spend it frivolously or try to "invest".Now, one of the last few lines is their home equity. 

I'd start by telling him that most lawyers will be spending eternity in a place that's always hot so get used to it.Then I'd tell him I'll gladly let him out of his lease if he doesn't like the place.

Have owned many years and always wanted to add a second line but the cost.Would you EVER consider spending $17,800 to save $2493 per year in water cost? 

I wouldn't spend 2-3 hours talking to people on BP and negotiating with the tenant for the sake of $300.

The average US household uses 9000 per month.

So... before you spend a penny, investigate the local laws.

That's why I'm thinking I would have to spend a good amount of money on lead gen.

There doesn't seem to be enough information to support that.If you purchase a property but then spend 4 months rehabbing it before its first occupancy, your depreciation starts from the date it's placed in service (first occupied) not the purchase date.

I also just recently acquired my real estate license.Now, I spend most of my time with my wife and 4 boys.

After spending a lot of money for real estate classes and mentoring with Elite Legacy, we were turned on to REIBlackbook.
