Electric/gas are a completely different story and would require some local knowledge about utility usage/rates as that would vary greatly from location to location.You should find out if it has separate meters before doing anything else.  

I stopped short of calling him an idiot - cause I'm polite like that.Short story - some people hate bandit signs with a vengeance and you'll be lucky to get a couple of hours out of them before they are completely destroyed or removed.

I have read success stories here on BP of people who have started in both SFH and MFH, so i figure either way is possible so I may as well go for what I'm interested in.Clearly, a key element of being successful in MF is financing right.

Thanks @Josh Dillinghamfor sharing that story.

It would seem to me that if the cap was removed, wouldn't vets be able to take out an unlimited amount of vet loans after living in each property for a year.http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/benefi...Just figured I would put this out there to see what the BP Community has to say about that.Might be that my presumption is Bollox though.Sam Harris.

Looking forward to reading your REI success story.

Great story, Mike!

It's nice to hear the bad stories (I'm sure they were not nice for you to live lol), makes things seem more real.

Great story and great job.
