My house is SFR 4000 sq ft living space,it has two units, sort of duplex two kitchens, two heat pumps, seprate entrance.

(In our locale, the developer does not pay to put the sewer/water/roads in...the city does and then levies a "specials" tax payable for 15-20yrs by the lot owner)I think I have found a partner though I'm not sure - he doesnt seem as excited about the opportunity as I do.  

Water/ sewer/ garbage is about the same cost for a 500 square foot unit as it is for a 3,500 square foot house, so utilities become a bigger percentage of total rent and costs with smaller units.Collecting rent is time consuming.

Hey everyone, Hope it's a good morning.For single and multi-family properties do you typically have a gross lease where your tenant pays a fixed amount every month or a net lease where your tenant gets the water, the heat, utilities, etc. and they pay it on their own?

. - City sewer - City water - I've got a written note from urban housing and development saying that I'm in compliance & would be grandfathered in.Is this a good deal?

City water was there and there was a septic. 

They take you aside and try to pump you up to buy it right then and there, and in the moment you want to just go for it.

You have to have reserve funds for that emergency water heater, HVAC or roof problem that pops up the day after you buy/lease option the property.

They asked for a new roof, furnace be cleaned and certified, water heater repaired, new basement window, blah blah blah.

If you have a master-meter, you own the water/sewer lines and will have periodic maintenance.
