Make sure any utilities that could be tied to the house (eg water) are paid. 

I'm Daan a 31 year old Dutch guy living in Vietnam.For the last 8 years I've bee working for theme & water parks in Asia.

On the other hand, also worried we won’t be keeping the property above water with rents reduced significantly.Still learning and know we will make mistakes along the way. 

A natural gas water heater will also function, especially if it’s got a pilot light (this will have hot water regardless of electricity).

The tenant called and said no hot water for early morning shower, so I inspected with plumber same day.

we are looking at a $100,000 house updated but still needs about 10-12,000 worth of work but most of that goes into the water heater and new furnace that needs to be installed.
