Try to find a good insurance agent to get the lowest rates for you and also have the tenant pay the water bill if possible.

We didn't neglect any known or reported water issues/ leaks, we took the necessary steps to remediate the problem (which it sounds like you did/are doing), didn't offer to abate rent or put them up somewhere, and they threatened to sue. 

The few I have done have been isolated area's within the home from either a roof leak not taken care of or domestic water leak not taken care of.   

These fees include things like cable, water , trash , pool, fitness center.

I have seen this range from as low as $100 up to $300.Do I need to pay anything before sitting at the closing table?

Right now everything is on the table but favoring wholesaling, fix and rent, fix and flip.

Most legitimate HMLs will not make you pay anything until you are sitting at the closing table.

now if the LLc hires a plumber and he screws up the water heater and it explodes and hurts someone you didn't do a personal act so they can only go after the LLC assets. 

.- Water/ Sewer - Should be able to charge back to tenants.- Interest rate - Feds raised rates again, so might be tough to find a non owner occupied (assumed due to your location) conventional loan @ 5%.- Confirm property taxes on the county website.Feel free to PM me if you have questions. 

Water & Sewer: $0 (tenant pays in most cases right?)
