Whenever I go out of town for any more than a couple days I shut my hot water heater off mostly so I don't pay to heat water that isn't being used but this would be another good reason. 

Hello BPers,We are looking at a building with landlord paid heat.

It is an allowance for the cost of long term capital costs, roofs need replacement, systems such as hot water heater and air conditioning/heating systems wear out.  

Heating, cooling, cooking, windows, roofs, doors, floors, toilets, showers...all of these things go bad...and they seem to go bad, or are destroyed, more often in mobile homes.  

Park Paid Utilities (overhead lights, empty trailers that need heat in the                                               winter,etc)               -  $150?  

Durham has a lot of potential and its heating up.

It appears to be heating up there as well.

After heated discussion about difficulties working with Out of state Turnkey investing (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/88/topics/351...)On a positive note I want to highlight 3 properties I bought this year which I think can show some of the positive ways to buy from turnkey companies.  

One question about your townhouse, how old is it and when were the major appliances(including heat & air) last replaced? 

The tenant pays for heat and electric.
