Frankly, I'm not crazy about tenants messing with anything that has to do with connecting water that is always left on (ie dishwasher, washing machine) or electricity that needs to be specifically wired (ie range, dryer).

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

Instead of attempting to suppress rents artificially, my approach focuses on a sustainable, market-based strategy with a long-term horizon.Here’s how I see this working:Leveraging Time, Scale, and Institutionalization:Similar to how farmland has been institutionalized, leveraging scale and time can be powerful tools.

Regarding the electrical issue - we always attempt to troubleshoot with the resident prior to dispatching a vendor. 

This is NOT Business Credit.By establishing a separate corporate credit profile on the EIN Number (separate from the business owner's SSN/FICO), investors can access substantial business credit lines, capital for property acquisitions, and renovation funds without personally guaranteeing the debt.This approach creates a powerful financial firewall between personal and business assets while potentially generating a significantly larger (ROI) through reduced interest rates, increased borrowing capacity, and the ability to scale investments more rapidly.The education gap surrounding EIN corporate credit means savvy investors who understand and implement this strategy can gain a significant competitive advantage.

Quote from @Arun Maheshwari: Hi,Does the bank owned foreclosure property allows to put Inspection contingency for big issues like plumbing, eletricity etc.ThanksIf it is bank owned and the foreclosure has taken place - possibly but they would make you responsible to turn on power and water and turn it back off.

These softwares have a lot of functionality, but honestly there is a steep learning curve and the functionality is probably overkill for most rehabbers.FlipperForce - Web-based House Flipping Software built specifically for flipping & rehabbing houses w/ Estimating, Gantt Scheduling, Task Management & Budget ManagementGeneric Project Management SoftwaresThere are nearly an infinite amount of potential generic Project Management softwares available that provide powerful functionality for managing project schedules, tasks & documents. 

For sure PG&E requires this for gas and electric, and I think most jurisdictions require it for water and sewer as well. 

Had a home inspection done and found it needs some work (Roof will need to be replaced in the next few years, some of the electrical needs work, updating the 2 upstairs units, furnace replacement at some point, etc...).  

Are all 4 units metered for gas and electric separately or on master meter?
