I'm about to pick through J Scott's book on rehab cost evaluation. 

The village is pretty lax on enforcing anything (unless the garbage people have to pick up anything outlined as bulk & chargeable), but Thad is right, it is at your own risk. 

We just had to cover utilities, repairs etc.

(Utilities at the street)Obstacles: I had the first title company pull records (600 pages) who said their underwriter won't approve the deal for title insurance because of her appeal and court history.

I offered to come pick it up in person but he blocks every avenue of communication at one point or another.

Call the utility companies to get historical records for anything that is owner paid.3. 

I think it is reasonable to include fixed, predictable expenses, like taxes, in your proforma, but numbers like utilities and R&M are best estimated using historicals.At the end of the day, the buyer will do their own underwriting and come up with a number that works for them. 

Would love some feedback of my super smart folks out there.I just picked up a single family zoned R2 that I've confirmed with the city can make a duplex.

When I'm visiting PEI this summer, I plan on driving for dollars with my brothers, who got into property earlier before the market picked up.

I would expect the landord to pay for accommodations until the unit is deemed to have working utilities required to live.
