So I’m not from Texas and never heard of watering the foundation before.

The property's sewer/water/trash bill comes in Quarterly from the borough it's in and the account is tied to the house. 

It's the last area by the water to jump in home values (Canton, Fells, Fed Hill, Locust Point, etc.).

When my husband and I went for an initial inspection to see what needed to be fixed, we found the grass was completely dead and not watered in the hottest months (several evidences to support this).

Water is not metered separately, so I either have to add sub meters and hope I get paid or just pay for it myself which seems unwise.Hope this finds everyone well - thanks in advance for the conversation.

Moving forward spend a lot of time looking up HVAC system, roof, water heaters etc.

My daughter had her roof done and after having the roof done she has brown water spots in the interior of her home.

Sometimes I'll get an attorney and they want a contract so I put together a one page document with the relevant facts and they are happy.For everyone else I use email to confirm the details.I still have my STR insurance policy.I also have control of the thermostats and water heater via wifi.

The big ticket items like HVAC, water heaters and roof. 

Assuming numbers are for year 2, when you rent it out.  1) Make sure all utilities are in the tenant's name, including sewer/water, trash, etc.
