I'd have to check with the city about available water supplies and with the gas and electric utilities.I've never "bootstrapped" a business like this, so I'm looking for all the input I can get.

The delta variant and other states potentially locking down coupled with the midtown and water street development will further propel STR travel and keep prices robust.Kristina KubaKeller Williams Tampa Central

On SFR where it's easy to see electric/gas/water/garbage is it standard to have tenet pay those utilities?

Make sure that your residents pay for their own water if you are adding this otherwise it won’t add much especially if someone decides to run a laundromat business out of their unit.

We've been exploring the idea of acquiring a property with access to the water, with the goal of being able to access Tampa Bay via boat.

Roof, floors, hvac, appliances, hot water heater, exterior painting, bath and kitchen remodels, etc.

Currently heating and hot water cost to owner is $20K +.

Watch your drainage plane.

Then they would only be sharing hot water with the lower unit. 

It would take a lot for water to penetrate 4 layers of roofing material.
