I've done this on one house in order to cut costs - since then, I've added a meter with the utility company but it's a good workaround for the short term. 

I am good at Tik Tok ads and Facebook ads, this works for buyers but not sure what works best for listings.

I spend extra for the the supply house versions and rarely have issues during warranty period.

Or you may find a D street in a B neighboorhood.

Quote from @Mary Peale: May I ask which amenities you added that you believe contributed to a revenue boost? 

There is a single family home that was divided and one half has been rented and an ad on small "house" that has also been rented mostly long term.

Since the repairs were two owners ago, I would think the town may be a little more lenient with you.With the new kitchen and bathroom, were they existing and just got renovated or were they added on?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Also, how much time do you want to spend doing real estate vs. your main job or extra work in order to fund it.

Now, say in yr 2 you have to do added work and spend another $10k of improvements.
