A law degree does not mean you know anything re wraps.If worse comes to worse, you can stop the foreclosure with legal action - it costs some but you will not lose your equity.I would not throw the baby out with the bath water re doing wraps and I do hope all works out for you.Reach out if you need a referral to a good AZ attorney to helpBe careful out there guysAlan Not to be too blunt, but you are handing bullets to a six year old with a gun.

I ASSUME you’re talking $400+ in extra expenses for providing water, power, sewer, gas, internet, communal area cleaning, and exterior maintenance.

The property has 2 electric meters and one water meter.

If the water bill is $100 a month, increase the price by 20% (or whatever you decide is fair) to compensate you for the time required to split and bill and to cover additional use when tenants squander the utility.

As a lender I can tell you that argument holds no water.  

The other thing could be tracking what you have had come up on the last 5-10 projects after closing, i.e. the water heater was at the end of life when we bought the last 6 out of the last 10 properties.

So it takes comprehensive knowledge of the market trends, zoning laws, the local municipalities approval process, survey cost, subsoil conditions, irrigation requirements, development cost, utilities (gas, power and internet), city water or well water, city sewer or POSW to name just a few...A builder developed the farm field next to our SD, bought it for $1.5M and wanted to build 25 homes as a conservancy subdivision.

The best defense against rats entering your property is to seal off all entry points (holes, cracks in walls), remove food sources (dirty dishes, food left in trash cans), and water sources (like leaks). 

I flew there and walked the house, looked pretty turnkey rental grade): $1029 GFCI outlets, downspouts and guards, drywall, paint, bathroom vent$4615 (new AC unit since unit was stolen before tenant moved in, didn't file insurance claim because didn't want my premium to go up) $600 (water line, gas line, P trap)$60 lawn mowing$112  thermostat repairMy opinion is that Class C is better for local investors who are on site and know how to do repairs and self manage.

The current owner is letting me take over the property as a tenant as long as I pay the water bill and the mortgage payment on it and whenever I decide I can purchase property for the balance of the mortgage  they are in no hurry for me to purchase the home as long as the mortgage is paid.
