What utilities are available? 

From my understanding, you have to spend 750 hours of annual involvement and 51% of your work relating to real estate to utilize cost segregation to offset income tax.Anything else I'm missing?

I also pay for utilities for two units since they are not on separate meters.My additional question is: can I/should I raise the rents the $75-100 I would like to, ask for a pet rent, possibly ask for a pet deposit, and then also charge a flat fee for utilities for the 2 units I pay electric and gas for?

Hi All,I'm a real estate newbie (for now), but thinking of interviewing  various property managers in investment markets of interest to start building the teams in preparation for that first deal..I'm sure there is a list of property management interview questions posted somewhere on here, so my question is about your interview experiences.What are some things that came up in interviews that my not be typically discussed in a regular interview script.What interview answers were red flags that you wish you had caught or noticed before signing an PM agreement?

They usually have regulations on the # of dwellings per acre and I’d hate for you to spend money designing bringing utilities to the site only to be in a city council meeting where the local neighbors shut down the proposed development. 

Typically some terms you might see are minimum 660 credit scores, up to 90% loan to cost (LTC) and 100% LTC on renovation up to $250k.

Areas with cheap properties and good initial rent to purchase ratio typically are so because they are not expected to have poor appreciation or they have something that makes them perceived to be high risk. 

MICs generally charge a lot in points and have high rates, and typically won't lend above 75%-80% of purchase.Some brokers will also have access to private individuals who are willing to lend, which can be more flexible.

I'm interested to hear—why do you say that you typically wouldn't buy with a DSCR loan?
