You need to know your market, occupancy and competitive rent rates, renter expectations, your goals, risk tolerance, temperament, and your resources.You need to know your local tax rates, state/local landlord rules, housing authorities, insurance sources, financing options, occupancy and employment trends.There are crazy tenants but effective management can minimize the risks.Good luck.

They provide a service where they sell the leads that they "farm" to other investors.

Water at 125 per building sounds very cheap and understated.I can tell you when the landlord pays the water bill tenants take LONG showers,do not report leaks (running commodes,bathtubs dripping,washer leaks,etc.) and they let others was cars and use their washer dryer for clothes.125 by 4 is 31.25 a unit for water each month.I would demand the actual water bills for proof for the past year.If it's built in 1971 what about the lead based paint EPA renovation rules??

All this leads me to suspect that they're stalling for time and when the taxes are due I won't be able to pay them and then my cousin will be able to take over sole ownership of the entire property.Please don't give up on me !

The gas dryers are more expensive to purchase in the first place, and aren't even in stock so a few days of extra lead time is needed to buy (assuming you buy new - I did that for the house I live in).Why can't you just have a 220V/240V line run into the area where the dryer would sit, so that an electric dryer could be used?
