We went over there today to complete the inspection - they had just gotten the utilities turned on - and saw water in the basement.

Either by using an underground pipe or at the least, installing a flexible diverter to direct the water away.It looks like a muddy mess now, but there is a ton of potential. 

As a community, I think that we can do a better job educating newbies to keep them out of hot water, help them make money, and in return get good deals out of it. 

For someone barley getting there feet in the water, what would be the best books and educational material to get?

What about water/sewer?

Can you backcharge for water?

Seems like such a long road after making the decision to transition out of SFH last Fall and selling off our portfolio in the Spring.

Per the lease it was the tenants' responsibility to cover lawn maintenance and water was to be paid by the landlord and reimbursed by tenants.Although it was the tenants' responsibility to maintain the lawn, we worked out a handshake agreement that the landlord would continue paying his lawn guy and we would reimburse him for it.

I have 4 properties in Saratoga Springs and I went to MACU & UCCU (credit unions) and they said that they do not do a HELOC on investment properties. 

Since we launched the last year has been solid  - Since we have lived on the property it only would cost us around 50 extra a month for water and utilities from what we were already paying.
