I don't expect the tenant to be checking their water meter on the backside of the building since it's at an apartment style building so would this fall on the condo association or utility company to refund the tenant?

They used the profits to fund their life style.2.

I feel I would really benefit the kind of investor who wants to flip a property but doesn’t want to deal with project management or teach themselves about construction to make sure all the work is being done correctly.   

In real estate investing, the value you provide should far outweigh the payment you receive.As "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg and John David Mann teaches:"Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value, than you take in payment."

I used my VA home loan at a 6.375%  ranch style 3 bedroom 2 bath 1316sqftPurchase Price: $268,552monthly payment is $1930  I do not pay property taxes. 

It is unrealistic to do what they teach in these books with BRRRRs unless you are putting in sweat equity or leaving money in the deal imo

I am learning a lot and I like the way Josh is teaching!

You can get quality guests/tenants for good rates and it can be a very good investing style when done right.

Some rehab style lenders make it difficult for newbies to gain maximum leverage due to lack of deals done.......NOT US!

I wanted to be very Dave Ramsay style on my personal property... high down payment (30-5% and only 10 or 15 year loan).
