The plumbing below my sink was improperly done leading to painfully slow drainage (takes days for the final inch of water to leave).

I'm seeing here that this is more of a site for investors, which were not necessarily interested in buying or building for an airbnb, we are very interested, however, in building a home that we will live in & then rent out or make our existing home in Kenosha Wisconsin which is on Lake Michigan an airbnb.We know NOTHING about buying a lot & then building.That said,  We have been trying to figure out how we get the most Bang for our buck buying existing property or building our own home.We have been seeing some amazing properties around 50K in Yucca Valley and/or 29 palms that list having water and electric available nearby.We want simple clean lines,  I suppose what would be considered modern contemporary but I hate putting that title on it because for some reason it seems like there's an upcharge just by using that description, lol...

Home is 20 years old.Immediate repairs would be to upgrade the hot water heater, furnace, paint the deck and interior painting. 

But not blowing it out of the water like the Great Recession.

This said, we closed in mid-June, the occupants were removed by the Sheriff yesterday and we´ve been paying insurance, taxes, water and sewer on the house since closing. 4.

No homeowners insurance needed and the HOA is 180 that covers water/sewer and other maintenance.

@Stephen Jones what is the opportunity to do RUBs (bill back) the utilities, water, and garbage to the tenants?

Are they separately metered for water, or does the landlord currently pay that?
