I avoid buying any deals with any major negatives to it such as busy streets, near railroad tracks, in airport flight paths, having a large number of stairs to climb from street to front door, commercial unit next to or behind it (unless the play is to convert the usage of course), or any major factor that will hinder your buyers pool With a smaller buyers pool comes less competition for your unit and therefore, typically will make it more difficult to sell (longer hold times) and for less than the model match on a non busy street or without major detrimental factors.This opinion of mine comes from 15 years of experience and making some of these mistakes.

@Ishmael Johnson it works great,  they pay for there monthly usage and the worry free plan. 

He was not worried that one of these contract workers would steal something from the tenant; he just wanted it covered that a tenant did not later claim that either something was missing or an inappropriate "action" had taken place.I learned from this and if a repair is needed inside an occupied rental property I always work it out to meet the repair person at the property.

Because of that its in the landlords interest to pay for that bill either by factoring it into the rent (if the bill is a flat see like garbage usually is), or possibly by billing it back when its based on usage like electricity and can vary a lot.

Be direct, and honest and take action.If they pay for utilities they also at attention to their usage, good for all!

So, a disgruntled investor in a properly done Reg D offering would have to prove fraud or failure of fiduciary responsibility to be successful in a lawsuit while in a private offering relying instead on the general exemption the burden of proof would include many other charges, such as non disclosure, inappropriate investment, due diligence failure, etc.

I have used it - I like it for 1 usage: throw away flooring.

The way I plan on presenting this is that it would a) spare them from having an actual rent increase and b) give them the ability to control the cost as they can control their water usage (in case they have been more wasteful than they could be).

I have a low credit score (slightly above 600) due to carrying high credit card debt as well as having some charged off CC's from my college days, however the statute for those to show up on my credit report expire in August of this year so it should provide a sizable boost to my credit score, in addition to my plan I have in place to reduce my total credit usage from $12,000 (out of 13,000 available) down to about $4,000 by July (hopefully lower!).  

Based on your COE (Certificate of Eligibility) you could qualify for basic plus bonus and that could be the ‘dream home’ consideration they are speaking of for first time VA loan usage.
