SEO is like flying through space.When you stop putting gas in your tank, your car will stop and you are stranded, done for.Once you get your space-ssssipp out of orbit and you are in deep space, sure it took a lot of work power and effort.. you will for ever zoom along no matter what you do or don't do.Get it?

We are constantly getting notices for severe water leaks from broken sections. 

Although rare, suddenly you may find with no rental income from a non-paying tenant, then additional eviction expense, cleaning the place back up, a roof leak and maybe a refrigerator goes. 

If the house has serious problems (foundation, mold, leaking roof, busted mechanicals, plumbing leaks, etc.) or is in the middle of nowhere or otherwise in particular location/market/situation, then you have to wonder if it will get rented.

Or the leaking roof, or the drywall guys who came left junk in the backyard...and I could go on! 

If the roof is bad and you purchase figuring 20k then you find out thru your contractor (after its yours) that it leaked down all the side walls and its now a rebuild from ground up its now a huge game changer.

There is 1, (I believe) 100 gallon GAS hot water heater servicing the entire building.

Some limestone foundations are 3+ feet wide and wonderfully maintained, while others are crumbing and leaking, avoid the latter.

We have separate gas and electric but I pay for water.

One of our tenants stopped paying their gas bill in February and then it went to collections.
