Our Kansas City market is inundated with traditional wholesalers that have muddied the water.

We can only give general predictions and of course most - if not all of us - agree that we have no clue when it will happen.Things such as low interest rates and money printing are only prolonging and worsening the inevitable and they also only muddy the waters on a prediction as to when a crash will occur.

Mine includes roof, floors, hvac, appliances, hot water heater, exterior paint or siding, etc.

There was a water leak and I think it scared others away.

I am not saying to neglect the other parts of the business, but just remember without deals you are a dead in the water.

In regards to water mitigation, you can install water efficient toilets and water efficient shower heads.

For example in my market, the cap ex/maintenance on a hot water heater is ~$15/month(my market mandates slightly more expensive water heaters than most locales and plumbers in my market are not cheap).

4 - What would you estimate for average monthly power, gas, water, and trash (I know, this is going to be a wide range depending on # of occupants, climate sensitivity factors, etc)?

These are the outlets you typically put near a water source such as in the kitchen or a bathroom in case the outlet or what is plugged into it gets wet it trips the outlet and cuts off the electrical supply so the person is not electrocuted.

At the beginning of my career we had a girl that didn't pay her water bill and her water was cut off.
