As they sat there on their folding chairs, with their poles in the water, looking over the lake, "There are no fish in the lake said the man without fish to the man with a bucket full." ;-)He provides actual deals and actual numbers and actual checks, to those who are sincerely interested in Turnkeys.

I’m looking at a 5 unit property and the water bill is $415, $373, $90, $422, and $515 every 3 months since 01/2019 WTF?!

Taxes and insurance are likely in the mortgage, but what about trash, sewer, water, repairs, CAPEX?

I feel like I'm treading water and the holding costs are adding up. 

I know there are many other options, but they always seem to muddy the waters come tax time and I like to keep things as simple/clean as possible.  

The home is empty and the lights and water are off.

On my first purchase (personal home) inspector went to the water heater and it wasn't lit and inspector didn't even try to light it, so he just checked the box as 'needs addressed' and moved on.The only other time I had an inspection on a purchase: inspector noted a few missing shingles with no more comments other than missing. 

I just got back from my local grocery store, and there is plenty of TP, water, and hand sanitizer to go around.

I ALWAYS have separate pros inspect the roof, HVAC, structural (if something is seen that warrants it), sewer main (or, septic, including separate sewer scope for drainfield AND perk test), and water well (bacteria and pump flow, etc.), if not on public water. 

We also have a lot of homes with a lead water pipe, which needs to be replaced, which usually means digging up the front yward to the street.
