I've only had to put in about $1,500 in some plumbing, water heater, and HVAC maintenance issues and I gained a tenant paying $750/month with very little effort.

My primary concerns are: it’s a rather small town and I think somewhat limited applicant pool to fill the units. the current owner pays water and electricity - I’ve asked for recent costs which the realtor is in the process of getting but it did not sound like a substantial amount.

Hi Dhvaya,So, lets break this sandcastle question into some grains of sand, with some statements.[1] LVP does not like water (most of it--but not all).[2] LVP damage seems to mostly come from scratches, deep ones and light ones.

After I had enlisted in the Navy, I was in a waiting pattern until they told me when to report, so I kept my job pumping gas on the Parkway.

There is standing water in the crawlspace, some work to be done on the kitchen floor, and some electrical work. 

skim with a roller of watered down mud and a squeegie.

The leaves will soon be falling in Cleveland which can be a problem for your gutters potentially leading to ice dams on your roof, water in your basement or a variety of other issues.

Since some of the issues had to do with water, it was sometimes scary, but we keep taking the next best step.

There are tons of expenses so it not managed right it will be under water.
