I've read a couple of Brandon Turner's books now and have been getting really into the mindset to start this journey.A couple major items I'm initially thinking of is where to start.

Year 2 had some large expenses, including some CapEx items (water heater, roof).

The short answer is yes, they should provide you with an itemized reciept and if they are markign up, that should be a clear line item.

Many years ago when foreclosures were the hot item and every idiot in town was getting rich from them till the bubble burst, I paid $180 for Carlton Sheets No money down deal course hardcopy books and cd's well I bought the house I was renting with 0 down.

It could be 24 hrs if you are not checking these items.

@John Underwood good feedback I appreciate it.I am viewing the property Friday so will have a better POV on landscaping maintenance then.I hadn’t considered the other items you mentioned, so thank you!

You’ll buy a property pretty much at market value and the property management company will handle the day to day items.

Replacement Cost PoliciesCash Value: Reimburses the current, depreciated value of an item.

VRBO collects the tax for you as a separate line item on top of your rate.

I know very little about legal precedent but I'd expect the major meter manufactures (selling into the utility space) to be well incentived to challenge these items best they can, and they have money.Here are the issues, and the reasons that the difference between an air forced system and a boiler/hydronic system are not meaningful for this discussion (ie efficacy issues of sub metering exist for either when method of measurement is measuring heat at point of delivery):In either case, the blower (or pump for a boiler) is the method of 'moving' either air (central air) or water/glycol or equivalent (boiler etc).
