@Travis Henry being that the new construction prepped the units with W/D connections (H&C water supply, waste, vent, exhaust and power) it makes sense to include the equipment...higher rents, tenant convenience, etc. as mentioned above.Regarding the domestic water on a "Master" meter, what does that mean...1 meter for the quad? 

If you can’t make it a cash flow property don’t waste your time and money.

I just started a new position that I am loving, however, it is only contracted for a year (slight chance it will be funded for a longer period of time) and the pay is minimal. 

While driving the other day, my wife and I found three properties that look like very nice homes although the grass was waste high, no curtains/blinds, and no furniture.

Many investors don't want to wait around and waste time to see if they will get the property, but I have bought them for myself, and sold them to other investors without any issues.

The seller is willing to work with me but I don’t want to waste her time.

I live in California and minimizing liability is the name of the game here because the state is so favorable to tenants, even when you go out of your way to do the right thing. 

Life is too short to live somewhere you hate, or waste time wishing you lived somewhere else all for an investment property or two.

Otherwise don't waste your time.
