I know it gets under people's skin to think they are paying for their tenants to go hog wild on heating and cooling, but in this area it seems fairly common for utilities to be linked together in a lot of properties I have seen.

The apartment complexes that my PM has followed those methods in that book have done wildly well in about 2 years of ownership for the longest owned complexes.

Appraisal is the wild card and honestly not many ways around it other then a good agent...and even then can be hard.Catch the wrong appraiser on a bad day at worst your screwed at low price or beat case you challenge it and win...but this still takes time.Remove the appraisal and you have much more control of the situation but lack a lot of the lending options...But 30 day can still be done and is done often (and runs concurrently with inspection so assuming you get past that).
