check with your local power company or the city. 

I'm curious also why you run such powerful (and expensive?) 

To answer your question yes they are stealing power.

Can you use the power of D class Section 8 rental properties to save you from your student loan debt and propel you to financial freedom?

It’s important to note the properties are located in a B neighborhood in which property values are on an upward trajectory.6 condos refinanced 75% LTV in two loans $300k @ 5% 5/20 and $34.5k @ 5% 5/10All in costs for units and rehab $305kRefinance amount $334.5k (yes we got out $30k more than we put in)Gross annual rent $94,620Annual Mortgage payments $28,308Annual condo fees $13,680Annual Property taxes $13,200Annual Insurance $3,300Annual Water/Sewer $7,056Net is $29,076

If you have a property management company who only manages in good A/B area, the phone calls you get per year is maybe a couple of times a year.

We have A/B property and truly, our best tenants come through real estate agents because they are working with an agent and if I advertise my place on my own and they want to rent--they're on the hook to pay the agent's fee (unless I note "broker protected" or something like that--but then I'm paying a realtor fee anyway, just less)Also, not sure if you're going to be buying near you, but absolutely visit the municipality and talk to them about landlord responsibilities, etc.  

More noticeable concern is tapping into power.

Newer homes are wider and need more power. 

I contacted a few local plumbers and they chose ABS.
