Maybe our PM have bigger projects, maybe some of the investors want him and his team to do renovation so it is a bigger business for him, or maybe this is just the regular procedure, it is our first property and basically we are still learning about all of this, but the facts are that we are paying for the mortgage, electricity,water, somebody needs to cut the grass especially in this period of the year ( we don't even know is the grass cut or not) and so on.So I was trying to find out what is the normal period in which the professional PM is going to find tenants and rent the property?

Since you have the liberty to decide on the layout, consider the best placement for the appliances first and what they need for proper ducting, power, water and gas (if applicable).

If not, the cost of utilities you'd need to pay should be factored into your assumptions (it'd be surprising, for example, if heat and hot water were separate for all units).

Utilities are separate except the water... we get 700 and 775 with us only paying the water as far as utilities... the rent on the one side could probably be increased.

The lease is water-tight.

The truth is that wasting water wastes energy.

I then installed carpeting on their floor with the water resilient padding.

I am aware of the “fair market value - arms length transaction” that certain Agencies will be looking at, which may affect this and blow everything out of the water.

@Gina Jurlando that would only be the part near the water.

The cost is to treat the water, heavy iron and sulfur.
