Hey thanks for the response and yes i am staying on the other side of a side by side duplex and would like to renovate my side and the other side !

Being prepared for these hurdles can make all the difference in achieving long-term success.

Shut off the main to the building and check the meter to see if its running , if so you have an underground leak . 

Quote from @Casey Graham: @Corey Conklin thanks for the follow up on this and the confirmation it's workin. 

Do the math on that and we will see that the carriers are not profitable and they also arent charity.

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift. 

If the investor would like to receive cash flow, I will pay them the $2,507.83 up until the remainer of the 5 years.The remaining profit earned with the $41,315 would be $191,784.80 total if you get paid for the duration of 20 years!

You can find the most recent sales price for the property on the local tax records website or by doing a quick search on Zillow.

You have to fill out something on the property page and they send you postal mail to your address to which you have to enter a code.

I would love to make a move before the end of the year and so I keep trying to decide which of the following is best for me:1) Buy 1 more expensive CA property near here, and thus a better tenant (less likely to cause issues), but lose a little bit of money every month due to the current numbers, while hoping for future appreciation?
