There are exceptions - some properties are set up such that installing a few electric baseboard heaters might be possible to save on the gas bill - but i would still just shy away if not metered separately at the outset.  10) do shop for a lender and compare (usually pretty standard but there can be some fluctuation) - dont fall for the ones that sound too good to be true - there are gimmicks out there - big bank or reputable broker should do you fine.  

After you paid for a hotel for your tenants for the last week while the ac, the heat or the water heater was broken.  

I haven't found a good deal on the KitchenAid unit that is the standard but at $90, this might be worth a shot.

Are you paying any utilities as the owner, aside from water and user fee?

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules 

First off, the water is probably coming from your unit.

Investors are angry Capella earned over $100K in origination fees on that deal and claim Capella did not do adequate due diligence, disclose conflicts of interest, and acted in their borrowers interest and not the investors interest.I know others who invested in a problem Capella loan for a golf course with water rights and multiple home lots.

Because the cost of roofs, ac units, water heaters and so on don’t care if you collect $600/mo in rent or $3,000/mo.  

Ok but "should have known" and "did know" are two different standards, and unless the seller had a survey done before it was put up for sale that clearly labels the roof as crossing survey boundaries, I doubt you can make a case there for fraud ( which is what willful failure to disclose is).

This is not standard.
