Biggest challenge was that initially the home did not have main power connected from city.

And when rates were recently so low, everyone had the purchasing power to just get that second one so this gets glossed over. 

It could be something simple like an outlet not working or worse like nothing works and there is a gas leak.I just bought a triplex where the power was shut off because the meters were removed.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

It's a powerful site!

The power isn’t on, the place has water in it.

The DCFC implementation requires 480V three-phase power and the electrical distribution network to support energy transfer on the MW scale.

So a GC must/should control his project with absolute power.....he has to.

We have people living in our units who have leasehold rights and power from possession, so its not the same thing as paying the mechanic. 

@Eric Jacobs Thank you Eric, although I'm still a newbie and only have 2 properties I can see the power of cash flow.
