What if you turn on water and it goes everywhere.

I think our cooler climate and fresh water resources are going to attract a lot of population in coming years, especially as CA/FL become impossibly expensive for many people. 

Will rent for 1750/month.Capex items needed soon: roof, water heater, furnaceArea: A area, appreciation is at about 5% a year but average home price is ~$500K so this home will appreciate faster, this will have multiple offers on itDeal #2 - mixed use, small office with a 3 bedroom and a 1 bedroom over it.Ask: 325KCurrently fully rented on one year leases, bringing in 4775/month but only one tenant pays their own utilities plus owner is responsible for snow removal and landscaping. 

They'll steal your copper, hot water tanks, furnaces and electrical wiring.

I may at somepoint consider utilities like energy and water, and how I can become more self sustaining, purchasing stocks is one way I can make my money back, or obtain ownership in what I am spending on in terms of utilities. 

The unobstructed water views for both front STR units can be challenging to determine additional value compared to other 3-unit properties without views.

The HOA pays water/sewer for all cabins, and this was $9235.97.Our largest expense is landscaping/law maintenance, which is $12,200 for the year and proposed to be $14,400 for next year. 

I agree with Nathan (don't forget to price running extra water, sewer and electrical lines).  

I used to live in the city and the taxes and water bills are nightmares.

Did nobody ever stop and say "oh, hey, maybe we should keep water pumps going because, ya know, no electricity no water pumping, NO WATER".
