Investor states medical bills ruined credit last year.

All my money goes to bills.

The reason I do coin-op is I was hemorrhaging money VIA the water bill prior to coin-op.

So to answer your question, closing costs increase the value of a property no more than does a utility bill.

You don't want a huge surprise with your tax bill after closing.

I live in an older city, so it is not uncommon for landlords to be responsible for heat and water (read gas bill and water bill). 

Hi, I am renting out a 2 bedroom apartment for $1,200 I had two people looking at it, one person was an older mother not working with her daughter working that makes three times the rent net, but she does not have now the full amount to move in including the security deposit and her credit score is in 500 due to medics bills and a few other stuff, versus the second person makes a little under two times the rent but she has a great credit score at 6 70 and she has the full amount to move in right now, what would you do?

Traditionally, you would need to put down $45K (30%) for the property and foot the entire bill of $75K for the reno - all told you’re in for $120K to get started. 

You may still have a small depreciation recapture bill.

Any time two or more fixtures are being used at the same time the water in one becomes non existence immediately.Each side of the duplex has its own full bathroom, water heater and kitchen sink.The duplex is on a concrete slab.I cannot find the shutoff valve (except for the city shutoff valve) or the prv (I'm assuming there's not one).The water supply line is 3/4 and cutting a hole in the wall I discovered the lines feeding the fixtures are 1/2.City has came out everything is good on their end and they place a pressure gauge on external tap and said its lowI checked faucet aeratorsthe 3/4 main supply is cpvc and everything else is copperThe water bill is not high so I assume there are no leaksA plumber is suggest converting the lines that are 1/2 to 3/4 until it gets to the fixture.
