Possible.It's not only about paying your bills.

What are some pros that I can highlight from the seller’s perspective.Here are a few that I’ve come up with:1) monthly income at a higher interest rate;2) avoiding a larger tax bill by reducing the purchase price (on paper);3) a promissory note that they could potentially sell down the road.Any other major ones I am missing?

Look at T-bills vs hard money loans for extremes in rates and risk factors. 

Water bill triples so they want to check for leaks, too many cars parked in the street. 

The language is still in the state bill where a city can deem an unpermitted unit "unsafe" or "substandard" - therefore no tenant can legally live there.

Air conditioned air leaking to crawlspace making crawlspace heat or cold depending on season causing more power bill to tenants.

The electric bill is also high, it is a little higher allocation than the propane.  

I spend a few hours a month paying bills, answering questions from my PMs and approving large bids, and then occasionally handling a turnover.  

Mike, My recommendation would be during due diligence for a potential purchase, ask for past 12 months of all utility bills, property taxes, and any other municipal requirements like rental permits, occupancy inspections etc. 

Thanks for the specifics on these bills.
