I just looked at a utility bill with a total charge of $184.12 but $116.50 is from base fees!

Some places do this annually, some places do a portion of the town every year giving them a total cycle of about every 4 years, and in my area it’s common to do a whole town reevaluation every 4-5 years.

crap happens this is a total outlier..

This includes if the property does not close.Your agent should be holding your hand through this process.  

I'm currently reading "BRRRR" by David Greene and becoming well knowledgeable within BRRRR itself. but I'm also willing to learn hands on and meet new people that I could bring value to but also bring value to myself.

., totally understand why you are wanting to get out of dealing with tenants and being a landlord. 

•Systems: Servicing the HVAC system, replacing the water heater, and updating the electrical panel.The renovation was completed in 13 weeks and totaled approximately $35,600.

The only "hands off" real estate investing is REITs.

I totally agree that most agents are horrible negotiators.
