Hey @Jay Ritchie - From our experience here in Chicago, we typically see new water/sewer lines range in cost from $16-24k depending on the depth of the trench, distance from the street to house, and just different contractors.What area of the city are you in?

We have just completely renovated a SFR (from the gound up, everything new, foundation, roof, HVAC, etc.). 

Background: Oakland multi-family (4-plex) propertyScenario: Existing tenant would like to add new occupants (2 relatives) to an existing month-to-month agreement. 1) Should we add the new tenants as master tenants or simply as authorized occupants?

They stayed with me for two years, paid on time every month, were fantastic tenants, and I never met them in person once.These tenants just moved out and I just had a new set of tenants placed with a very similar situation.

You can easily do this on a spreadsheet, and it will take less time to track than finding and learning new software.

i currently own a duplex and have been land lording for 18 yrs. i have found a potential investment opportunity  30 miles away. it is located in a community slated for substantial growth over the next decade due to the current construction of new semiconductor manufacturing facilities. the property is a 24 unit apartment building. supposedly it historically maintains 95-100% occupancy and has a waiting list. my question is what documentation should i expect the lenders to want?  

I am going to have my tenant pay rent online directly into my new checking account.

I’m eager to learn and build connections in this new venture.Thanks a lot!

The house rents for $1200 month currently and will be able to get $1600 if renovated (finish basement bathroom, new flooring and fixtures, mainly cosmetic).

Thanks for the feedback.We are investing in a new brand called PassivePockets to specifically address this problem.In the meantime we have a structural problem.
