I'm baffled by how a property's water bill is so high despite there appearing to be no leak.

However, he is currently paying way below market rent at $1400 (water and garbage included) for a two bedroom/ two bath/ and a garage in Everett, WA.

Replaced refrigerator and stove.

The first week or two, the refrigerator started leaking.

I would suggest if you're open to it, New Jersey, just over the water.

The original price was $180K, but we were able to negotiate down to $165K due to the roof age and some water issues in the basement (offered $170K due to roof, and went down additional $5K in inspection).

.- basements are hand dug and therefore usually not deep - usually no structural issues (much more in 1960s buildings) but sometimes poor surface water management leading to damp spots.

Knowing the age of the home I still tried to hope (never a good strategy) the HVAC and water heater would hold out for a couple of years.

There is only so much inventory on the water - value will keep rising as inventory stays scarceOr would you run?
