If the utilities are in their name they might remember to shut off the water while they chat and if they don't no skin off your nose.Another thing to keep in mind is that sewer charges are often related to water consumption so excess water use bites twice.Sure once in a while you may get a tenant that stiffs you and if they have other damages you might end up eating the cost of a few months of utilities once every 10 years but that pales compared to the lost funds when you pay them yourselves every month on every property for those 10 years.

I looked at the crime map and it shows that while violent crimes do exist in those neighborhoods, they pale in comparison to some other neighborhoods.

@Aaron Yang If you want cash flow, look at 32208, 32209 and 32206.

Welcome @Lee Yang!

@Wei Jie Yang - it depends on the location and size of the home. 

@Moly Yang  I don't believe there is a law that requires a buyer and seller to use an attorney or title company to close, but it's just best practice to use them on all transactions. 

Per the article, often these cases get settled (read: you pay the tenant $$$ up the ying yang for them to "go away".)*  If the impending case above  ends up favors tenants, it will make it that much more difficult to raise the rent to change the tenancy. 

@Mickey Yang  - I think you are talking about a property here in OKC - if so, I've recently replaced one (last fall/2022); and it was one that one plumber initially told me we be more expensive b/c it was deeper than six feet -so  they would need to shore up the sides/per OSHA regulations.

Yes, we have stocks and Index funds but they are just numbers on a ledger we get every month, and the returns pale compared to what we make as land lords.
