@Justin Heitter, you can see actual electric/gas costs for an address here: https://www.myavista.com/your-account/moving/high-...WSG should average $65-75/month/door.Management will probably average 8%, depending on your manager.

Consider property taxes, utilities traditionally paid by the owner in that area (water, trash, electric, gas, ...), repairs, maintenance and landscaping, costs to service the loan, etc.If your friend would become your tenant, would you be willing to raise the rent on her? 

Owner pays water/trash/sewer & natural gas for water and heat.

Gas is $133/mo, not electricity.

Austin Hendrickson you make a valid point as to why only capital gains is allowable (and which makes a ton of sense) but I just don't see the specific wording in the tax bill. 

Your concerns are valid and they should stop what they are doing and close on the property first.
