That way you have a portfolio of homes under your management which any landlord you pitch to will want to know/see before they hand over the keys.Just know most landlords in this model request above market rent so you have to be really confident you can cover that cost plus some or you'll easily drain all your money.

Repairs are also quite low, I had a French Drain installed last year from the back yard to the front, and total cost was $800.00.

What I have learned is replace any major things that need replacing prior to moving tenant in, then at least I only have to worry about clogged drains.

And I am a contractor So I am going to go with a home we remodeled and the plumber rerouted one of the drains and never tied it into the main under the basement slab .

You should be able to determine if the area has central water; go to the neighbors and determine if the area has central water, if all the houses are connected and who the supplier is, then contact the supplier and see if they service that address; walk the property and see if there is a well head; determine if the area has septic systems or central sewer; if septic system the well should be at least 100 ft. from drain field; there are water sampling labs that will test the water; I would have a full test run including heavy metals.

Beyond that they have had a few called for clogged drains and other minor issues.PM me if you would like there name and number.

Was called over to double check for the customer, found floor drain clogged, a few minutes with snake and good to go...customer was ready to pay $5k, I said no charge and relayed the system may have been fine without the recharge either. 

There's an un-maintained dirt road of about 300ft leading back to my property that has higher surrounding land which drains onto the road.
