Let's go with the following rehab cost assumptions for simplicity purposes: Plumbing: $2,000Electrical: $2,000Big Ticket Item (Heating System / Roof Replace): $7,500Flooring: $4,000Cabinets/Counter-tops: $2,000Paint: $4,000Walls: $500Landscaping: $1,000Appliances: $2,000Total Rehab: $25,000Even with other holding costs, let's go with the assumption that you're all in at $30,000.

So the Trulia crime heat maps are okay, but from my experience, they are often outdated.

I have been doing AC and Heating for the last 35 years and am tired of it. 

Just like a single family, just check the big ticket items like roof, foundation,Drainage system (run a camera if needed) heating system, boiler system (try avoiding if possible but not a deal killer). 

Here's my draft list:1) Lawn maintenance - mow grass and trim back tree branches so that they're at least a few feet away from the house and HVAC systems outside2) HVAC - each HVAC unit has an electric compressor for cooling and electric forced air for heat - besides removing debris from the outside of each unit, I'm not sure if anything else is really needed (e.g. potentially clean condensate pans if they have buildup)3) Jet the sewer line - there are a few bellies in the sewer line but the tenants are not experiencing any issues as a result of that.

The heat lamps are what runs up the power.

The MLS or seller should have heating numbers, or you can get them from the fuel vendor.

But the way the rental search engines work now really puts me behind, especially when I have to build in the heat too on one 4U property.
