It starts slapping and bouncing around wildly and more often than not, gets further away from the water as it probably thinks its being successful in getting away, have you seen that before?

This sewer line runs under 2 of the other subdivided lots that were intended to have houses on them about 400' away and ties into a city main 1 block away from the houseOct 2008 - I purchase the home and everything is great, assuming all is per plan.2010 - Developer sells one of the lots that my sewer runs under to the water district for a future clean water well site. 

Water and electric?

Real Estate: Starting OutYesterday, I found out that my tenants had their water disconnected.

A heloc is also calculated at it's Max amount usage even if not used during underwriting for a new mortgage.Cash out is tax free and it can be used as an "Asset or Liquid reserve" on new approvals. 

My 2 cents is right there with the other guy, get into something on your own first to test the waters and know what it’s like to actually buy and do some work.

ABC kept the first two and half months of rent from the rental guarantee for tenant placement fees and utilities (water, electric).

An alternative to batteries is a "water battery". 

I know what the rents should be for each of the units (2 vacant and 1 significantly under market), the taxes are listed on the MLS, I’m familiar with the water/sewer costs in close proximity to this building, and I know what percentage to use for my Vacancy, CapEx, and repairs and maintenance based on my knowledge of the local market.

It’s unlikely to provide the immediate tax write-off you're envisioning.I’d recommend consulting a CPA to clarify your situation, especially if you’re splitting usage between personal and rental.
