There was a Twilight Zone episode where these guys rob a bank and horde gold bars, and manage to take a sleeping gas and wake up 100 years later to spend their booty.

It is probably a good idea to look at one of each kind, so you can tell them apart while shopping.If you think that any of the windows have been leaking (often around the bottom), you might be prepared to replace rotten framing after you take the old window out. 

I always assume electricity, gas, water, sewage, trash, snow/lawn care, and wifi to be paid by tenant (except HOA). 

Do the tenants pay for 100% of water/sewer/electric/gas/trash?

Sure, you could argue that you'd be collecting rent from your tenants, but good luck finding a multi that has enough positive cash flow to cover the entire mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, capex and your living expenses, food, gas, utilities, etc.

That is not always but if we just look back to last recession and check prices in the oil and gas regions ($100 barrel)  one might see these locales were not affected as much or not at all as I recall. 

I wanted to throw the numbers out there to see if you all had any advice or if I was missing something.It’s a duplex, electric is separate but gas and water are shared.Purchase Price: 71,000Annual rent: 18,600Annual insurance: 1,200(est.)Taxes: 2,883Garbage: 290Vacancy: 1,860(10%)Maintenance: 1,860(10%)Management: 1,116(6%) 775 placement fee (50% one months rent)Capex: 930(5%)Total: 10,914Annual mortgage: 3,453.6018,600-14,367.60=4,232.40 cash flowUnfortunately management is a must since it is long distance.

The house was there on the market for close to 300 days.We got the inspection report and it showed that there is a plumbing issue (leak from the master bathroom, see attached pic), which looks like a red flag to me but my realtor (might be biased to closing this deal) has asssured that this is not a major issue and can be fixed.I have requested the seller to fix the leak plus bunch of other minor stuff in the request for repairs.

Stockton University will be opening it's Atlantic City campus this year which consists of a Residence building on the beach block, Academic building across the street and a shared garage with South Jersey Gas.
