I would speak with him about it but he has a "mentor" program that you can join and I would prefer not to get into a "sales pitch" for that program.

How do I encourage conservation of the utilities to minimize my expenses?

The mortgage would be paid off in 26 years instead of 30, so after the 30 years I would have a paid off house and approximately accumulated about 36k from rents since it doesnt have to go toward a mortgage payment.Now lets say I invest that 1700/ year somewhere with minimal risk, growing at 7%.

first off what pitch roof is this?

Pitch-the angle of the roof relative to the ground.

No big deal.As we discussed in your other thread, that actual NET rental income is probably minimal and possible even negative.

Cost is minimal.   

I think the added value is minimal. 

Getting you sales pitch in line is the most important.  

I've been lucky in that maintenance has been minimal over the last 5 years, but I need some positive cash flow in case of something going wrong.
