Hello everyone,Disclaimer: not sure if this is the right sub to post in, please let me know if I should post somewhere else.I only recently started listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast and have since become infatua...

Fourth, you are qualifying the Tenant Buyer using Dodd-Frank rules, so you have less to worry about them defaulting.This makes me feel much better, because that is precisely the model that I want to follow.

Here's the background:-I recently purchased a duplex and am occupying one unit and renting the other-Currently, the owner (me) is footing the water bill for the building-My unit has in-unit laundry, the other does not-The water bill averages $200/monthI'm considering the following options and would really appreciate any advice on how you would handle the situation:1) Once I move out, continue to pay the water bill (expensive over the long run)2) Work in a flat fee to the rent and pay the difference myself each month (tough sell to tenants)3) Install a secondary meter and charge tenants back at the end of each month for their usage (requires more work on the part of the property manager, hassle to charge precise bill to tenants each month)4) Run a second water line, completely separate bills and make the tenants completely responsible for their own water bill (most expensive, initially)What are your thoughts, and can you think of any better options to deal with the issue? 

Did you see a vehicle parked in front or in back of the property?

It's been a while since I last posted and ALOT has changed since then.3 yrs ago this month, my husband and I started looking for our first rental property as another retirement vehicle beyond 401k's and IRA's. 

Today my credit cards are almost paid off and my total vehicle cost is down from over $1000/mo to about $400/mo. 

Still I can't help but feel the draw towards both as investment vehicles.

My other concern is: Why such PRECISE "The building is worth 82 and the total value with the land is 147" figures?

I read a lot of BP posts on market forces, challenges that it creates for other investors, the precision of execution needed for certain strategies and get thankful that those items largely do not impact my investing and my family's financial well being.It's funny, this is an investing site, we are investors...and there are weekly posts on the problems created by a good market.

For example is your primary vehicle owned/insured under the LLC?
