@John DanielsI have a real passion for Real Estate.I enjoy learning about HVAC systems, plumbing,electric systems,elevator systems, building envelope systems.

How to know if a land site has utilities(water, power and sewer)?.

What @Dan Powers said is spot on.

AKA your buying power.

I know the basics regarding framing, plumbing/electrical rough ins, hvac and roofing and all the associated permits that go with those as I've done all of that before but they've mostly been single family/condos with this being my first multifamily rehab.

The electricity, plumbing, and/or heating in these places were invariably rigged by a drunk Mickey Mouse, whatever additions were built are of incredibly shoddy workmanship, and the last municipal inspector in there was obviously bribed to look the other way.

Unfortunately, appraisers have a lot of power to delay purchases/sales - there's not much (if anything) we can do about expediting the process (or else everyone would be doing it). 

Also, consider electric security gate access if code and/or HOA will allow it.

Currently, I pay all utilities unless Electric goes over $200 a month, then the tenants split the difference.

Ideally it would start as an Excel spreadsheet and then move to a reporting tool like Power BI.
