Six units in Glen Arbor or Williamsburg sounds high to me unless of course there is water involved.

The FHA says that examples of such problems include but are not limited to the following: Missing handrailsCracked or damaged exit doors that are otherwise operableCracked window glassDefective paint surfaces in homes constructed post-1978 (because of lead paint hazards)Minor plumbing leaks (such as dripping faucets)Defective floor finishes or coverings (worn through the finish, badly soiled carpeting)Evidence of previous (non-active) wood-destroying insect/organism damage where there is no evidence of unrepaired structural damageRotten or worn-out counter topsDamaged plaster, sheetrock or other wall and ceiling materials in homes constructed post-1978Poor workmanshipTrip hazards (cracked or partially heaving sidewalks, poorly installed carpeting)Crawl spaces with debris and trashLack of an all-weather driveway surface=================There are many areas, however, where the FHA does require problems to be remedied in order for the sale to close.Electrical and Heating The electrical box should not have any frayed or exposed wires.All habitable rooms must have a functioning heat source (except in a few select cities with mild winters).Roofs and Attics The roofing must keep moisture out.The roofing must be expected to last for at least two more years.The appraiser must inspect the attic for evidence of possible roof problems.The roof cannot have more than three layers of roofing.If the inspection reveals the need for roof repairs and the roof already has three or more layers of roofing, the FHA requires a new roof.Water HeatersThe water heater must meet local building codes and must convey with the property.Hazards and NuisancesA number of conditions fall under this category.

We are rehabbing an 11-unit and will be sub-metering electric and water. 1.

The furnace and water heater are also located down there. 

It's a good way to dip your toes in the water where the property is far enough away so that you need to rely on other people for most things but close enough that you could step in and do it yourself if it became necessary. 

Landlord pays heat, water, electrical.Technically, it will cash flow 800-1K if fully occupied. 

Purchase: $300kFMV: $550k Tax Appraisal Land Value: $253kThe issue becomes that usually the improvements (road, signs, fence, dumpsters, electrical, water/sewer, lots, etc) usually run 60-70% of value of the investment and thus is depreciated but with the land value on this about equating to purchase price, I’m missing out on this write off.

If the furnace and water heater is gas I would stay with the gas range.

I did a full tearout of the kitchen ceiling and remediated all the water damage.
