J Scott Not sure how you picked up evading taxes out of that but not my thoughts at all.

So to answer your question on getting started - I would pick a market and start thinking about what kind of property you can buy today, with your capital.

Mostly blown in fiberglass paid for by utility rebate.

How can I get the last 2 tenants to sign off on paying utilities mid-lease?

I just picked up a property in for $65k that needs $45k in rehab, with an ARV of $205k in Phoenix. 

If you pick something always stick with it for a minimum for 6 months before you can say "this does not work" 

If you pick the right area in Killeen it could be a great investment.

If 4/5 of the roommates are upset, someone can pick up the extra part of the rent or re-evaluate their roommate choices.

For me its not a deal, the return is very low and you have no value add opportunity.separating the utilities is costly, and often you can just pass these usage to tenants on top of the rent.And its on Septic.

Is there other information other than the price, location, taxes, and utilities estimations?
