First you need to learn to separate the following:Maintenance: usually things related to wear & tear or tenant damage.Repairs: usually broken items like doors & windows, caused by tenant or nature.Capital Improvements: usually expensive things that wear out: hot water tanks, furnaces, roofs, etc.The seller is correct that Repairs & Capital Improvement items should not be a factor for awhile (ALWAYS get your own inspection to confirm).

A fourplex means four times the appliances, plumbing, HVAC, water heater, and other repairs, driving up maintenance expenses compared to a single family.In Las Vegas, multi-family properties attract transient tenants, like singles or couples without children, who typically stay 1 to 2 years.

Lot rent is $365 and includes water.
