What kind of due diligence services do you provide?

I can recommend my guys all day long, but if your deal is in an area where they don't or won't service, there's no reason to make the recommendation. 

Please make sure you are doing you due diligence before you hire anyone here. 3) You can use software like buildium, appfolio etc for property management and some other online services that allow for credit checks etc.

If you don't then they may not be willing to commit to you, and you won't get the right service. 

@Cherrell Thomas cash flow is the profit that's left after debt service, property taxes, property management, common utilities (if any), reserves for repairs (small things like leaky faucets, AC servicing, etc), and capital expenditures or capEx (larger things like a new roof,new HVAC, major plumbing overhaul...these are treated differently on taxes, written off over a specified longer period) and other expenses.The first item I mentioned, debt service, is where the answer to your question is.

In most area's water is a required service that landlord's have to provide for tenants.

My goal is to eventually become financially independent to the point of being able to work my current job 6 months out of the year.

It would be best if he calls the city and asks them to turn it in (although it is already on) in order to establish service for 2 reasons: (1) He's going to need to have the water on for the when the property gets inspected (banks won't loan unless everything is proven to be working) and (2) Right now the city could charge him with theft of water by turning the water back on himself (well, really the contractor did it but the city does not care). 

If this were a forum for maximizing profit in sales tactics where we can discuss the intricacies of getting paid for a diagnostic service call regardless of whether you actually diagnose anything correctly, well then...
