Keep in mind that with a 5 unit, that's 5x the water heaters, furnaces, sinks, toilets, stoves, etc for the inspector to test- it's a lot more work.

Would you live in one of your rentals?

Here is what we found out about our property that was a cute little cottage:PGE during the winter time was $400 a month, for a 750 sq ft 2 bdrm 2 ba apt, that was rediculious.During the summer, the PGE was great, but without central heating and air, the house was smokin' all summer.The building was built in 1930 with no upgrades, so no insulation in the walls or the ceilings.We never really paid attention to the fact that all the big windows were plexiglass and not glass windows so the heat permeates into the house all summer long.The new gas furnace that we initially installed, did not heat the 2nd bedroom because of it's location in the house, so during the winter the only way that room gets heat is to turn on the stove and the heater (hence the high bill besides the heat escaping through the walls and windows).Since we have lived here we have been able to address each of these issues.

The edges near the stove were buckled from heat & it also had a lot of cuts from years of using it as a cutting board.Then I bought a lower grade of 3/4 inch Chinese granite for yet another rehab.

I know this isn't a home improvement forum, but I am so happy with the result in the kitchen that I had to share some before and after pictures.As this is my first rental property and a unit I've owned and neglected for 8ys, it felt great to finally get some improvements done and put me one step closer to maximizing the value of a unit located in a rapidly improving market.Before: small galley kitchen, old single-pane window, textured ceiling with dated fixture, lineoleum, ceiling holes from the bathroom renovation upstairs and chasing a tub leakAfter: opened the wall, removed the valence, IKEA cabinets/countertop, repurposed shelves from another room, donated subway tile, free dishwasher and stove (donated from friend that just upgraded,) recessed lightning on a dimmer switch, $300 fridge (thanks Craigslist)
