Running it from the street to the curb might be $1000 or so (water company does this) and from the curb to the garage maybe $400-1000 or more depending how deep the line has to be (plumber does this or you could try and do it).With new electric service, biggest hard cost is the permit fee and then the labor to screw the meter box on and hook up the 3 wires which are sometimes difficult to work with.With new water service, biggest hard cost is the new tap fee, permit fee, and labor to dig a deep enough trench or tunnel through to the garage.

@Lucas Machado I'll definitely dig a little deeper into FL to find out more.  

I dont buy from the usual suspects that are available, I dig a little deeper.

So I know of the various avenues to source a foreclosure and pre-foreclosure list, but I wanted to dig a bit further and see if it's possible to locate loans in imminent default- that is a loan that has defaulted less than 60 days.

The way I hear guests on the BP podcast talk about partnerships makes it feel like an easy process... seems like we are going to have to dig a bit deeper to avoid potential pitfalls.  

so looking to dig as deep as I can with sellers or realtors.  

That increased the install cost as the installer had to dig a 300' trench to bury the cables. 

Gilbert,Yes I definitely should dig a little, though at first sight the suite appears to be pretty new and fresh.

I need to dig a little deeper on this one.In general, I need to talk to city ordinances/planning if I want to get serious about this.

If you don't have the barrels then eventually the water will dig a hole (SINK HOLE).To rent a machine is only $150-$250 a day to excavate the dirt from around the home.
