We disagree the market is still solid, supply is low, builders are not out producing demand, rates are low, defaults are low.

Copper supply and plastic drains are ideal.Make sure the heating works and is in good condition.

@Trenton Thorne JrI usually call from craiglist.I've used Kenny a few times, always had good service (link below) , reasonable prices too.https://baltimore.craigslist.org/lbs/d/essex-junk-removal-dump-runs-furniture/6922521704.html

Go to Home Depot at 7am & any old guys who are there buying their own supplies would qualify.

I would say it is possible for a market to have an over supply of rentals if it is in an area of low demand.

They do not open cabinets or drawers, move furniture, or test appliances. 2. 

A guy told me some of the old furniture buildings are being made into tourist destinations.

if the plumbing to the units are separate, why wouldnt you just have the water utility install a separate meter, I have done this, the downside is each meter has a base charge, but the tenant pays the utility anyway, or my property manager does and bills it back to the tenant. all the lumber needs to do is locate the piping to each unit, install a Tee where the water comes in and install 2 sets of meter horns, and then needed lines to each units supply, I installed a set up like this a couple months ago on a duplex, took me about an hour and $100 in parts.  

You are not providing a month free storage for their furniture.

Your attorney or agent should be able to supply you with all that info.
