@Mario CastellanosBIG assumption but if accurate it means the property is under water meaning they owe more money on the property than it is worthThey would not be able to sell it without lender permission essentially.

The zip codes are 39211 and 39047.Would you say your comments hold water for those zip codes?

To us, the draw is the resort and their water park. 

It was the 'water master's house'--the person responsible for diverting the Colorado River water to the different properties/farms. 

This will demonstrate how the property performs as a pure rental, and it forces you to save.

If landlord pays water/sewer, and with more occupants you know you will see higher water usage, think you could make a logical case for some additional rent or per person fee to cover that. 

Problem with including utilities in the rent is some tenants can abuse it (eg leave water running, windows open, etc).

Water & Sewer Service7.

House hack or pure investment?

However, here’s the catch with roofs: if it gets to the point where wind or water can creep in, small leaks can become big problems fast.
