One day my roommate and I helped them move in a tv and in their apartment they had inflatable couches, the tv we were installing, beds, and a tanning bed, that's just about it. 

How will the installment sales impact capital gains? 

@Jason Merchey For more details, check out title 37, chapter 22 of the SC State law: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t37c022.php (emphasis added):(30) "Mortgage loan" means a loan made to a natural person primarily for personal, family, or household use, primarily secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest on residential real property or security interest arising under an installment sales contract or equivalent security interest against the borrower's dwelling and: (i) located in South Carolina, (ii) negotiated, offered, or otherwise transacted within this State, in whole or in part, or (iii) made or extended within this State.By definition, you didn't "make a mortgage loan" in the context of the legislation.

I did see that SB7 said that multifamily properties would require submeters installed in every unit.

I have 8+ units that I would like to install plank flooring/vinyl of some sort when the units turn over tenants.

So you need to rip the pad out, then clean and dry the carpet, then install new pad.

Is that fraud- no. its like someone wanted to charge me $1000 to install a dishwasher.

But per lot it will cost roughly the following:$1,500 Electrical poles, meter installation $2,000 water taps and connections$5,000 grading and land prep$8,000 septic installation (assuming a 1:1 ratio of homes to 1000 gallon septics)$5,000 down payment on each home ($700-750 / thereafter per unit)$21,500 total set up x 17 = $365,000Ongoing expenses after development would look something this for POH model: $12,750 a month in mobile home mortgages (17 x 750 for PITI on each unit) $1,900 a month in land mortgage PITI (house) $3,000 a month landscaping$2,000 a month in reserve emergency fund$2,200 management$21,850 a month total expenses $262,200‬/yearOngoing incomes after development would look something this for POH model:$27,000/month ($1500 x 18 {17 mobile homes plus house})$324,000/year324k-262,2k = 61,800 net pre-tax profit or $5,150/month.Opportunities to reduce start up expenses: Bulk deals with the government or contractors for doing all the work at once (electrical, water, land grading, septic) Trade free rent for someone to mow and landscape (turning a $3k event into a $650 event every month).

There are many others out there who would love to rent your empty unit.Also, I agree with others, install a washer/dryer if it's standard for the area.
