I was working on a deal which looked fine when my contractor walked through, when water was turned on the pipes burst.

The County Health Department (I think) could use the house address to confirm to you if one is allowed or not.I've worked with Citizens for potable/drinking water, but not sewer.Could you help me understand if you're talking about storm water (rain water) or sanitary sewer?

Most of the amenities an apartment complex offers larger universities have on campus (gym, pool).

You can also partner with someone and pool your money.

So our first one we pooled SDRIRAs and 'paid cash'.

:I keep hoping for climate change so we get more water.

For example let’s say in your market a water heater replacement costs $1k (my market is ~$1500 if using license plumber but our water heaters are different and more costly) and last an average of 12 years (our actual data going back almost 50 years places average lifespan just under that for gas water heaters).  

Some things that make a rental appealing 1 - pet policy (pets or no pets allowed)2 - number of full bathrooms 3 - number of floors (single level vs multi)4 - backyard or lack thereof5 - school ratings (higher the better)6 - crime ratings (lower the better)7 - location to highways8 - amenities (parks, pools, trails, lakes, etc)9 - location to place of employment.10 - age of the property 11 - appliances Just to name a few.

By not having completed the quiet title, you eliminate any potential buyer who would need a loan, so make sure you have a good pool of buyers before you take that risk.

For example, downtown columbus has this market report https://www.redfin.com/zipcode/43215/housing-marketThe average housing unit sells for $350k, we try to deliver housing units at this price or lower on the new construction side. if you are above this your buyer pool gets smaller. look at each zip code by it's own markets and stats.
