Does it have shared systems you have to manage or separate utilities for everyone? 

Utilized a Solo401k to purchase our first few properties.

The existing mobile also had utilities hooked up with a $17k impact fee credit that I didn't have to pay to the county.

Quote from @Zachary Deal: A lot of investors utilize the BRRRR strategy in those markets as there is relatively high rents compared to the value of the properties!  

Some wholesalers utilize this strategy because the buyer does not see your wholesale fee. 

That means if you could get $6,250/mo, have zero repairs, zero maintenance, zero capex, zero vacancy, provide zero lawn/snow/landscaping, pay zero utilities, and pay zero management.

The EPA is hoping  owners will investigate and identify the pipes on their own, report it to their utility provider for tracking, and then the EPA can obtain funding for replacement.

you will need to look at the APN of the property and line it up with what you actaully bought. as mentioned the tax assessed value is not an indicator of value. the land could be a utility easement, used for stormwater management etc.

If you can live for free and only pay utilities AND buy an investment property, that would be ideal in terms of savings and cash flow.If you can't stay and your parents want to make some money on that property, then yes, house hacking would be your best option especially since you don't want the best place in the multi.

Neither outcome is good for you.I give some approximations of each expense category in The Hands-Off Investor, but the best way to nail down operating costs is to look at the property's historical performance.For example, Contract Services and Utilities.
