Granted this was on plots of land I didn't pay for, and that are already connected to the city's water and sewer, so there's a lot of savings there, but I'm hoping if it turns out to be this good of a deal I can still scoop up land and keep going

This is a beautiful house - rehabbed/looking new and fresh - walking distance to the water etc, yet low gross yield  compared to Byrd (???)

And I did buy 13 lot package in Henry county but it was all sewer and water.. smokin deal 3k a lot held them 2 years and sold for 35k a lot :)@Jay Hinrichs excellent advice - always appreciate your insight!

(And I would tell you to not buy a property that doesn't cash flow unless you have significant resources behind you that could absorb anything that could come at you - like replacing a $5,000 AC one month followed by replacing a $1,000 hot water heater the next).   

-A water heater issue resulted in repeated mismanagement—confusing unit assignments—leading to extra costs to fix the same issue 3 times and on each occasion "more fixes" needed to the water heaters that I plumber said was needed.

Implementing water-saving initiatives is a smart way to reduce utility costs.

So, if your property has all bills paid by the tenant, you will deduct from the voucher amount the set amount by bedroom count for items like water, electric, gas, etc.

We bought our first rental in dec 2023, this was to test the waters of being a landlord in the US.
