Should I have the builder finish the house to my choice of material?

If the utilities are submetered, and you do not ahve lots of common area, so no pools, no clubhouse, no parks etc... you will probably run in the 25 to 30% range.

Behind all the glistening advertising materials, investors who are selecting either apartments or villas for living or selling, need to do their little research and calculations.

The PITI on the 5 year (seller financed) note plus the utilities he pays (water and garbage) comes to about 450.00 a month.

They are all attractive lots, couple of them are on the golf course, and all are level buildable lots, with utilities in place.

Its pretty common for tenants to pay for utilities.

It was kind of a spure of the moment thing to were the lady (family friend) needed a place to stay right a way & agreed to pay the $525 plus deposit.I want to replace the old cracked windows with some better energy efficient ones to help with the cost of the utilities which I pay none of.

Because you still have money flowing out of your pocket (taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, etc.)Over time, you may build up equity from appreciation and upon sale, could cash out.

Unlike Flip This House, we actually have to count for price declines, labor, material, holding, and closing costs.

The house is fully furnished, all utilities are on and paid to date.
