I found one on the local craigslist that I could afford, and I'm thinking about buying it with the intention of renting it out, and using the profits from that to offset my own living situation (kinda like a duplex house hack but with 2 separate houses), or worse case scenario I could just live there and the lot rent plus utilities would be less than what I'm currently paying, and I could have roommates for extra income.

Reachable, do you really want to have an automated phone promt system that takes 30 minutes to get to a real person, or do you want to have the phone answered by a real person4.

I think five days is more than sufficient but definitely put a hard date in the demand letter.

I have a two year plan to get my real estate license, and in turn utilize my profits to invest in rental properties.

Check availability of utilities and the cost to bring them in or tap on to existing. 

Not sure how old the furnace, AC, etc. is but I bought a home warranty with mine and it has given me a lot of peace of mind and will save me a ton of money because those will most likely go out on me literally any minute, ha.

I am about to break ground on the remodel of my home and am building an ADU over my garage for the same property.My question is....is it worth spending the money to separate the utilities or just have one water, electric and gas meter?

I need some advice on utilizing my current equity.

Leaky drain pipe, bad HVAC thermocouple, bad thermostat etc that take less than 30 minutes to fix.

Holding costs include paying taxes, insurance, utilities as a minimum for the duration of the Rehab and sales period.
