I think the most efficient way to build your team is by finding a solid investment focused agent and then having them guide you to the right connections for the other contacts needed. 

I would advise to separate the water and power meters.

I wanted to ask for your help in getting our group out there. https://www.meetup.com/north-country-real-estate-investing-c...https://www.meetup.com/north-country-real-estate-investing-c...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86/topics/1204648-water...

Minor cosmetic and efficiency upgrades over four and a half years.

In Vancouver 20+ years ago, a bunch of condos were built and they were not built properly and had to have massive repairs done due to water damage on the outside (we called them leaky condos). 

Tenants pay for gas and electric, owner pays for water.

For example where does water drain on the property.

I painted it, redid the floors, put on new doors and hardware, fixed all the existing issues (leaks in roof, toilets not working, sinks leaking, water damage on exterior and upgraded the panel to a 220V) What was the outcome?

There is significant water damage in the kitchen and also mold (possibly from over time, but not sure).

I'd just run your numbers on the new development i.e. how much can you get land for, building permits, water/sewer hook-ups, etc.
