But, if you pay utilities, it might make sense to add a bit for the extra water / electricity.Personally, I would use this as an opportunity to tear up that 3 year lease. 

For non-primary residences, they have to follow all of the following rules to receive a permit: - the property must be a minimum of one (1) acre in size (designed as a precaution to disturbances)- The building standards of the underlying zone district must be met - Adequate parking is provided - Defensible Space requirements are met - Valid water and sanitation must be demonstrated - No more than five (5) bedrooms are in the dwelling As time goes on, they continue to become more strict on the rules listed above here, and are actively regulating it.

I've been debating on sticking my piny toe in the Bham water... lol. 

The character of a wo/man shows when the ship is taking on water.

Normally we keep 20-30k.So, how old is the water heater?

When there's tenants already occupying the property, there's often times different leases that were signed among the tenants.Additionally, renting by room usually sees higher tenant turnover which in turn causes more work for the PM.Other challenges to consider:- Disputes/conflicts among tenants (different personalities if a tenant doesn't know the others prior)- Occupancy limits- Splitting utilities (what if someone uses more water?)

Have a salon with a water heater that was installed around three months ago, and the tenant has complained that it's having issues heating the water; I suspect it may be an electrical issue with the system. 

Purchase price: $242,500 Cash invested: $49,000 This is an older house, built well on concrete block, that is next door to multi-million dollar houses on the water.

Can't include furnace, hot water tank, central ac and some other built-in appliances - check your local ordinances.

Hey what are you going to do with that lot, or you know it is landlocked, or you know it is unbuildable, or you know that is under water, or whatever?
