Always weigh the pros and cons of each option based on your financial goals and circumstances.

In any case you could base it upon the actual bill, or like the utilities do, based upon past usage, but at the current rate.

They are attracted by nature, affordability and bang for the buck.

Sounds like prices vary based on each situation but I'm looking at $15k.

@Yang Zeng Welcome to the Bigger Pockets.As you can see in my profile, my business and hub is in San Diego, not far from you, but all our investments for myself and my clients are in well performing markets in the Midwest.We specially in this out-of-state- approach that really requires more than just the properties.I agree that you should keep a reserve and not spend all your funds but I could help you with 6 properties that would pay you about $5K/ month in cash flow or $60K/year based on your available funds while having about $100K reserve.I like to help you see the performance difference between our area in CA and the Midwest.
