If the city ever wants to add sidewalks or run utilities underground, those homeowners will be out of luck.PS: I have never seen a juridisction pay to remove items in an easement or compensated owners for performing work in an easement.

you will need to look at the APN of the property and line it up with what you actaully bought. as mentioned the tax assessed value is not an indicator of value. the land could be a utility easement, used for stormwater management etc.

The existing mobile also had utilities hooked up with a $17k impact fee credit that I didn't have to pay to the county.

Starting with an FHA loan on a property with separate utilities is a great way to begin.

Look for properties with features like separate utilities and layouts that appeal to tenants.

I understand the first parts where creating a win-win deal is key, I just can't seem to find what happens  When it comes to closing real estate transactions, there are basically three ways to do it: (1) do it yourself (2) utilize real estate attorney or (3) utilize title co.  

What I am more concerned about is in terms of real estate what would be the best way to utilize the 200k - I want to put that money to work.

That means if you could get $6,250/mo, have zero repairs, zero maintenance, zero capex, zero vacancy, provide zero lawn/snow/landscaping, pay zero utilities, and pay zero management.

There is always a "rain delay" or "the foremans truck didn't start" or "We called in the stake out, but they didn't do it yet" (Sorry they are big on stake outs and I have never had the towns/utilities be off when requested on time).

At the current price, adding the additional lots would make them about $30,000 per lot, depending on the price of the additional utilities that need to be added.
