I am 3 months into my current 6 month period for water and sewage and I noticed that my water bill went up exactly 50$ and my sewage bill went up exactly 50$ so obviously they are hiding a rent hike in my Bill's.

You mention doing your own maintenance and Repairs and capital improvements (roof, windows, furnace, water heater, etc). 

Still need to account for roof 25 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span,hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

Management that can't keep the water pressure up or service on, or trash picked up.  

I’ve updated windows, doors, instant hot water heater, roof, ac, bathroom, and flooring.

you invest with a coach or mentor when you can easily stroke a check for it.. and if it does not work or you dont like the busienss you not in debt and its just water off a ducks back.   

You want your agent to test the waters gently with the COVID discount and see if the seller is ready to do something.

My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span,etc.

If the water/sewer is separate, sometimes trash is part of that bill so they would each pay their own.

None of the jobs are big enough to sub out, so expect to be touching up paint, fixing flooring, adjusting downspouts, confirming that the stain on the drywall in the basement is black mold or actual water damage, etc.
