How do folks keep up with cutting back the weeds.

So I bought this house back in January, and I fixed it up over the summer. it is a 3 bed 2.5 bath built in 2006.

Well said @Bruce LynnI have noticed an uptick on my side of the business regarding the acquisition of land and building.Its an experienced bunch that buy these but from the feed back that I'm getting, experienced flippers are finding some peace in building from the ground up.

1) All of the spaces are the same and the one unit is higher in rent because it was a month to month and the owner raised the price because it was a travel nurse and was on a month to month lease. 2) The owner is saying I could easily bring the prices up to 2150-2250 per unit and keep it at long term leases to make it easier to manage. 

Think the 20 gallon WH would keep up with 1-2 ppl living there? 

At the time it takes to get an eviction in CA, the utilities can add up to a significant amount.  

In my first contact with him (via email most likely) should I bring up wanting to purchase his home ?
