Very certain we overpaid, but it was a dire situation where the old one broke and had caused water damage and the tenant didn't notice for a month... 

once you actually identify a specific property, you need real numbers.in a duplex you may have two of everything (unless some utilities are shared) - two furnaces, two water heaters, two sets of appliances, lots of bathrooms. 

Jump into the forum and input and ask any question. the only way BP works is by getting in the water. 

Any ideas of what to do it would cost around maybe 30k to fix up and  add well (to far for public water) and septic .

. :)You will need a degreaser, Dawn and hot water is excellent, gloves, a bucket, cleaning cloths, and a lot of elbow grease.

I am wondering if I should keep the water meters in my name and get rid of one water meter and let each meter service 2 apartments?

It allows you to put a stack anywhere you have electric and water.

There are individual a/c,heating, gas/electric, shared water, units and each unit is individually privately owned.  2 stories, no elevator.   

in 2001-2023 era i  was laid off three times, two of company shutdown, one was actual reduction in force ;-) so i've seen how company collapsed, it was funny my office in cupertino back in 2000 was exactly located in front of apple office back then hahaha....now that location is becoming the swimming pool in cupertino haha lol....the reason of the layoff is just because all these VCs suddenly closing their funding time. how does it correlate to current situation ?

Mainly you're responsible for the sewer bill and to provide heat and hot water, but not things like air conditioning.If this was winter, I'd be concerned about pipes freezing if the relationship isn't going well, but a 10 year tenant probably won't let that happen.I don't really know about the downsides of not having a lease.
