Ask the utility, out here Edison and our water, and gas companies have programs for landlords where the bill will convert back to your name when someone cancels their service, it is great. 

We had a water heater go out during our week in the Caymans, and she called our plumber while we were gone. 

I set up an automated email campaign and manage the nurturing of the leads via my proven system that leads up to scheduling appointments between you and the motivated seller.

The heating system is this old drum barrel & presumably an ancient forced hot air system.

For multi's, add water to that list.  

Just a bunch of BS as you know.. they are there to do what we all do and that is snag a good deal.. nothing more nothing less.now in our states on the west coast this is illegal.. and or I should say very strict rules to follow and violation of these is serious.. ergo we no longer do it.. as its not profitable.. just have to let them cycle through the system.

Our hobbies are just about any water sport, mostly whitewater kayaking. 

A rehab should reduce your operating cost and offer the opportunity at higher rent, but it probably won't show up in the bottom line numbers until year 2-3.Same goes for replacement of major systems with a long service life.

Just make sure you are accurate about the rent you can get for that unit so you are not under water.

They are very mom/pop style and couldnt really give any specifics on other expenses besides electric 30, taxes 270, water 250, so i estimated vacancy, repairs, cap ex, management, insurance, etc.
