I have just started looking at properties and the first SFH we toured had just had the furnace and water heater stolen! 

In case I have to sell or I quit running STRs I wouldn't want to be under water out the gate.

@Alecia Loveless is correct--tenants need access 24/7 to their electric service panel, water and heat, assuming those are individual utilities for each unit. 

.$275000 with 25% down, taxes $4080, insurance is 3000 yr and rents is $3800 month, Water $400 mth. 

@Jason Wray, The reason that our shop is pretty hot about your post is two-fold, we do all of the things that you are implying that we don't (other than government loans, we don't work in that space). 

This helps keep me out of hot water with fairhousing. 

My cleaners take a video after every turn, my team goes in to check everything is good after cleaning and record salt and PH level logs and I have a licensed plumber who is in charge of maintaining plumbing, water heater, and boiler system with logs.

It had new water proofing done in the basement, a new roof, new windows, etc.... 

Very often they sound robotic and scripted and does not lead to hot leads or appointments. 

That number seems high but the neighborhood was “hot” and houses sold really quickly.What I cared about most was completing my second deal to gain experience.
