The hardship in my case stemmed from the fact the parcel size required a storm water management system that would cost the same to implement if I built 7 homes or 30.

(Except of course for a simple permit like a water heater, where a Licensed Plumber could get one.)

I don't recommend cold calling or emailing.

@Don Owens My 9-5 job revolves around Indiana water regulation and well installation.

And my rentals there are cash flowing nice, but it's taking some time to getting it occupied, and I also found out that I need to make sure that the tenant is paying for the water, because the water bills are really high over there.I will keep you all posted along my journey, and I hope I could help you friends.

If you buy a high cash flow property in Cleveland, over 5-10 years you will most likely break even on the cash flow or just be treading water.

Quote from @Natalie Allie: If you are still considering the Land Bank in Detroit listings, just be careful to check with the city on whether or not the water needs to be reconnected.

Fridge filter is like a lightbulb it is a consumable that they can get or not get, makes the water better or I suppose the fridge smell less but it is not essential.   

If the mold is caused by a leaking pipe or water getting in from outside, then you should hire a contractor to stop that intrusion immediately, then dry out the home and remediate the mold at your expense.I also recommend reading and sharing the EPA Mold Guide.

I assume it has sewer/septic, water and electric and they 2 tiny homes are plumbed/wired?
