Was thinking to install one in student housing to cut on the water usage.

@Kevin HarrisonWelcom e BP.

This particular building would be hard to figure out based on past usage because the buildings had been foreclosed and the current owner has had a lot of vacancy in the past which would show lower utilities during that time.

I always need 200K to buy and renovate a income property, and I do not make 200K Net a year :).if you flip, the bidding wars may be good for you, since you buy low and sell high on a bidding war :)There is still houses that do not attract bidding wars, you just need to be patient e negotiate.

Check with a mortgage person to mak e sure this is okay.

This lead me to read books like Think and Grow Rich, E-myth, Rich Dad Poor Dad, 4 Hour Work Week, Building Wealth One House at a Time, ABC's of REI, and other books listed here on BP.It changed the way I saw being successful and being wealthy.

I tried my hand at R/E investing back in 2006 but failed miserably.
