Our water bill has been a lot higher compared to the bills in the last three years.

Hi BP,I'm excited to have found Bigger Pockets and have been on a BP podcast binge for two weeks now.

There are a few tenants of three, four years I have never talked to and only met a few times being at their house or during applicaton process. 

@Corey Prevost  Hey Corey and welcome to Bigger Pockets!

All three of those things (gutters, hardwood, painting) are a little on the high side, and all three could probably be reduced by hiring the right sub-contractors for those. 

three choices:1) Seller does not yet own2) Seller owned for at least one year3) Seller owned for less than one yearSometimes, the challenging part is entry for Realtors with clients.  

@Carlos Pelegrina Hi Carlos and welcome to Bigger Pockets!

i will be reporting it on my taxes for 2017.debtCalifornia piti $1,950Georgia piti $2,000 (yes, gross profit per month is $1,200 with only 5% down, seller covered all closing & living rent free)car $530student loans $350As an investor I want the minimum amount out of my pocket.

I personally believe in getting information from three sources, and then crafting your best estimate from those.

The property has three buildings that will be rented/leased so there will be taxable income.
