I hope you guys keep it up for those like myself to hear some truth before we "jump in the water."  

You'll likely have to cover common area electricity and all of the water (typical for Chicago may be not your case).  2. 

In many areas some utilities are provided by government entities such as garbage and sewer, but also sometimes water and electric.

@Tony Todd what I do and what you should do being new to this, may vary dramatically.I can filter out about 98% of projects from marketing materials.  

If there is a way for 2nd floor to go directly to the basement, you might be better off putting the setup there.Other items to consider--who pays for the water/sewer? 

On Monday you have 3 water heaters lined up for employees .$500 material and $500 labor each Plumbers get paid $30 an hour in this scenario .Instead of doing 3 jobs that day .

Then there are issues with water bill,electrical bill, and probably other bills that haven't been paid in years besides for minimum.

I live in this multi-family so I take care of the grass/lawn, snow removal in the winter, etc - however, I plan on moving out this year so I'm in the middle of deciding whether to hire someone to take care of the outside work or include it into the lease for the tenants.For the lease agreement, I used the old one the previous owners had and made small changes but there's nothing specific to snow removal, lawn care, or other general household maintenance (changing light bulbs, air filters, etc.) 

You can spend 10-35k on just water proofing and water mitigation.

Does the rent include any utilities like water that might increase?
