According to MA General Laws, there is a section about submetering water/sewer but it does not address natural gas.

Fellow BP investors, spring has sprung and we all need deals.  

Hot Water Heater drain - yearly

I'm an investor/rehabber/landlord based in Western Springs.  

Every ceiling tile and sheatrock has water damage.  

I just found out today that her water bill is at $1,098.66.

The following is a partial list of things that wear out or become outdated over time and eventually need to be replaced for every property:-Roof-Siding-Hot water tank-Furnace-A/C system-Electrical system-Plumbing system (inside)-Sewer service line-Water service line-Any concrete exposed to the elements (sidewalks/porches)-WindowsIf you calculate the cost of replacing each of those items and divide them by the expected useful life, then sum that up, you'll come up with a monthly amount that you can expect to spend on capex over the long term.

Also, because if I waited until next Spring that, that would delay my ability to qualify for my next property because if I were to act yet this year I could count the rent for this year on my 2015 taxes, since I will need to show 2 years of rental income.  

There was no water damage from the outside elements.This is a short sale home, asking 229,000.

I just didn't want to get into any hot water at closing.
