Do you have insurance for your appliances, if the tenant says the washer stopped draining the water and now their clothes smell like mildew, do you know how to schedule service with warranty or call an appliance tech?

If the house still has 60 amp service that tells me its old , so the water line is probaly old . 

If you have to change a water heater, which now costs around $2000 in Colorado Springs, that is a large unexpected expense that the owner has to pay for.

I feel like those kind of fixes can be estimated when getting a house inspected and appraised. knowing when a new water heater was put in or when a roof was replaced, these all have life expectancies and yes accidents happen but if this is happening on a regular basis for you, like I said, I have concerns.

That way any water heater, furnace/boiler, etc are covered by that insurance policy. 

I see young potential house-hackers here in Colorado Springs and Denver that are all excited and then get wrapped up in a gf/bf, in their job, in going out.

Gas/Heat/Hot Water is included in the rental, when completing the proposed rent form could I ask for more rent money or should I stick to what the property is originally listed for? 

Let’s hope the baby isn’t thrown out with the bath water.  

Does anyone know of any lenders that are currently (Spring 2015) offering such a loan?

That was recently lowered to 4.26 million, and even achieving that could be a struggle if mortgage rates don’t move sharply lower.The positive spin to all this is that every year we have existing home sales below 5 million units is just “compressing the spring” further.
