In Las Vegas proper, the tenant is 100% responsible for utilities< had one stick the water company with an $800 bill and when I called they said they’d try to collect before that tenant could get water in the valley in heir name but I was free and clear. in north Las Vegas however, since the city is involved with garbage, sewer, water and recycling, if the tenant doesn’t pay theirs a lien on the house even if it was in tennants name.

Nothing to shake a stick at sir

Might have to stick to a single family house.

These sources are from NAREIT and NCREIF.....The total returns - over the long term - is approximately 5-8% which is in line with other investments with similar risk.To say that one should only look for income returns or appreciation returns is illogical because the two variables are highly correlated and if you're expecting only 2-4% return on your money, might as stick em to SP500 Index, which returned 14% annually for the past 10 years. 

I won't go with the riskiest opportunistic strategies, and will stick to core and core plus mostly with some value-added.

What’s behind the walls (wiring) is the most important thing to look at.You might as well buy a bunch of the three prong adapters and stick them in the receptacles.

I never had any arguments with my tenants, but if they happen, I'd rather stick to face-to-face communication. 

I would like to say that I could stick it out, but with the signs of decline everywhere, it may be time to move on.The thing that I dont like is that I have already put 13 years into this house and if I leave, I would have to start all over again on another mortgage. 

Perhaps sticking to the IE will be a better bet. 

Or to stick my head in the attic to sort out the load bearing walls, push on the walls under windows to find rot, take off a switch plate to find out the truth of how the house is wired (just because you see new wiring, doesn't mean the whole house has actually been rewired) and so forth.I'm always asking neighbors if they know anyone selling their beat up houses whenever I'm out working.
