Hi,We are in the process of looking for our first deal in the CT area, and I came across this property on craigs list:asking price: $229,000 7 unit victorian built in 1880, in broad bank, CT (small town near hartford)some seller finance: 60,000 @6% 15 or 20 years (which would be great since we do not have a lot of capital to start with)Gross rents: 59,700Here is where this does not appear to be a good deal:electric: $6,390oil:11,167.31water: 1,825trash: 2,562snow 510sewer 2940taxes 6497insurance 4000and i would also add in property management: $450and repairs: $450the tenants are month to month and rents are somewhat below marketand there is laundry in basement for extra income.So basically the owner pays ALL utilities on this property.Question is though, how difficult would it be to change the electricity and oil to separate meters and how difficult would it be to start passing that on to the tennants?

Southington to be exact, which is not far from Ellington.You are right in that the market in Hartford County and surrounding is flat at best.
