You have 4 sets of appliances, water heaters, etc.

If a water pipe breaks and the place floods, you would have to move out while renovations take place.

Many of the best cash flow markets are in the Midwest where it gets pretty cold and has a lot of snow, unlike sunny CA where you are.

I’m looking to network with other investors in my area and provide cold calling with a script, door knocking for wholesalers, sending out mailers, setting up bandit signs, or any other administrative office work in exchange for being in the environment of an active somewhat established investor.

It was also much more expensive than I had originally been quoted.Then I purchased blinds for the property and went down there and installed those.Then we saw that there was water damage on the window sill.

The problem is we have approximately 2 weeks of travel coming up for July, and we need time between their tenancy and the next to do some updates (paint, new flooring, new water heater), and I don't want the house to sit vacant while I'm out of town.  

Can you get coin op ones to break even on the water and electric?

How much do I need to profit on top of mortgage and all bills to make it worthwhile.2.What do you require tenants to be responsible.I am in the northeast and its cold do you require them to pay for heat, hot water, electricity, water, sewer etc.

The home will continue to smell like  bleach until water flushes the traps out.

This was a major rehab with new HVAC and new Water heater.
