The line looks completely dry with growth flaking off; how long has it been since any water has run through the line? 

Lots of structural damage, and the entire area is still without water and power for the most part.  

Assuming the property is in the Denver area, the issue is likely drainage and ground water.

I have been connected with BP for the last couple years by just dipping my toes in the water occasionally, but this year I am looking to jump in! 

We have a dozen or so properties there, that are without water indefinitely, perhaps as long as month.Of course, that's small change compared to the utter destruction and loss of life.  

I’m moving out of the house soon and will be living rent-free with my wife at my parents' place in the Bay Area due to some recent life changes.Here’s a breakdown of my situation:Location: Sacramento, CA (4 bed, 2 bath, recently renovated)Current mortgage payment: $3,940/month (including escrow)Mortgage balance: $475,000Current home value: $515,000 - $535,000 (based on comps)Rental estimate: Property management companies are quoting $2,600/month (with fridge/washer/dryer included), but some websites suggest it could go for up to $3,000/month.Planned budget:$540/month for capital expenditures and maintenance$100/month for lawn careTenant to cover utilities (gas, electricity, water)7.5% vacancy rateWe bought the house thinking it would be our forever home, but with our current situation, I’m trying to figure out the best long-term plan.

FEMA rental Assistance covers the cost of monthly rent and essential utilities, gas, electric, water, trash, and sewer.

I tried to estimate 20% higher on repair costs since i do not have a wealth of experience estimating yet, there is some minor water damage, and some heating and electrical that needs to be replaced, which is where most of the expense came from.

I'm used to multifamilies where each unit has its own water heater and furnace.  

We also try not to install fridges with water dispensers or ice makers but if we do, we put in our rental agreement that tenant is responsible for any repair to water/ice makers.
