@Kevin Farrell In my location in New Hampshire it is just common for landlords to pay water, sewer, and heating if it is on oil furnace then factor these costs into the rent for multi families.

It's the tenant's responsibility to maintain the oil levels.

I have lived in Midland my entire life and feel like I have a good understanding of the bubble this area is in with oil and gas and how it affects home prices.

@Dan Abts I believe @Matt Carroll is associated with ConnectLinx, however, I just wrote the following post titled: "2024 Rentlinx Alternatives - Snake Oil or Real Leasing/Rental Syndication Providers" breaking down my journey trying to find an alternative to Rentlinx.

Doing the math, if a seasoned fix and flipper had a well-oiled efficient process and was able to consistently hit $50k per house (after costs and overhead required to go at that pace), he/she would have to do 34 flips in 21 months to make what we made on one deal.

For me this involves making a lot of spreadsheets, but I will give you the outline.1)Establish risk capacity and tolerance: Capacity=how much can you afford, and tolerance=what you actually feel safe spending2)Use that information to narrow down what is available to buy: The amount will buy you a duplex in PB with 2 1/1's, will also get you a 4plex in Lemon Grove with 4 2/1's3)From there do the research on all of the available units that fit your criteria: This includes, but is not limited to, historical data on appreciation, market rents, historical rental data, and migration trends.4)Don't be afraid to wait for the right propertyI hope that I was able to simplify my process for you in a way that is helpful.

Right now with the Syndication MF model seemingly leaking oil all over the place.

Beward leaky oil tanks and asbestos pipe sheathing.

To answer, concrete foundation, shingle roofing, oil heat, log interior walls.

Balloons coming due with higher interest rates, China market, China production, Manufacturing production moving back to the US, Worker shortages, Workert pay hikes, Ukraine/Russia food and fertilizer misses, Oil prices increasing due to the OPEC Q1 production curtailments in place, Houthi issues, Panama Canal Water issues, Illegal immigration impact (buy one of those office buildings and rent for $10mm per year for Illegal housing, take advantage) social benefits required, Climate change believe it or not- Buy or sell into that thought process,  US politics, Baby boomers leaving workforce and needing more benefits, Baby Boomers moving from Stocks to Bonds,  etc.I agree things will get worse, but that means more investing opportunities.
