The gas and electric were turned on, and we had a minor issue with the furnace pump, but got it fixed and the house heated up nicely.

I guess the $11,000 could be water and additional maintenance assuming the tenants pay for electricity/gas.I have no experience with commercial lending requirements, especially with respect to a seller carrying the down payment.

The apartment/hotel place had $375 management fee which included everything except electric and taxes.

Maintenance is usually estimated as a percentage of the gross rent, with around 5-10% being common.Capital Expenditures: These are larger expenses that will be necessary to replace aging components of your rental, such as a roof, HVAC, water heater, electrical panels or plumbing systems.

I've never had much experience with paying the tenants' utilities on a multi-family, but I assume the bill can be $100-$200 electric+water, especially in the hot summer months.

Visit the city department that is in charge of the utilities and ask them if your site has easy access to water, sewer, electrical, etc.

I often read here and hear from many other sources how automobiles are such a waste of money and a depreciating asset.

What about your electrical panels on the poles going to each home?
