I would start at the water shut off on the water heater and work from there.

There will be some things that you'll need to know such as: zoning restrictions and utility availability (water, sewer, electric).

Hey John,You're in the 90-100-percentile range of being absolutely correct.

Other electricity and gas meter are not working and only one electricity and gas meter is working which is mine.My lease agreement clearly states that heat and hot water included and electricity I have to pay myself.

Ya I couldn't agree more....Here's my list of reason for doing REI:1) You can never get fired so you have permanent job security2) You can work from home which has it's own huge set of advantages3) You can set your own schedule, wake up when you want and work as many or few hours as you want.4) You set your own pay5) You're often earning as much or more than high power doctors and lawyers.6) Once you have as little as 1 apartment building you likely have enough income to never have to work again if you don't want to.7) As you continue to acquire rental properties your month cash flow rapidly goes up into the five figure range and eventually even six figures.8) You can do a deal from almost anywhere in the world.

They only costs they have are for utilities (Electric, Gas, Water, Sewage) and Insurance for month.

Roof/replacement windows/gutted kitchen/paint/new water heater.

Welcome to the forum, and I hope you figure out your hot water situation.It's always good to see another fellow Texan here.

I found a 4plex.Roughly, it would have a 1,000 or so per month mortgage/taxes/insurance, plus we'd pay water/sewer/trash.

It needs to have the basement water proofed and fix some leaks, ceilings show water damage.
