I am looking at a 7 unit short sale with only one occupant and no financials (because managing partner is not cooperating with the bank).In preparing my analysis for investors/financing, I am trying to get a rough estimate for wastewater costs. 

All the other cities I've lived in (Brisbane, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore) you can't get within 10 miles of the city if you're not prepared to pay a huge premium and the previously dodgy areas have been gentrified.
