This really depends on location and water utility, I have two units that use like $50 worth of water per month each but that could just be a favorable utility, people conserve more when they pay the utilities, but at that rate I'd be looking for a leak.

AirBnB delayed their IPO because they thought they were going to be impacted negatively by the pandemic, and in the short term (when the shut down first started) they were.But now, unlike hotels and airlines, AirBNB has come roaring back and may be operating at even higher revenues now than they were when the pandemic started.Covid has changed the way a lot of people travel...in AirBNB's favor.

Do yourself a favor and get with a seasoned investor to whom you can bring potential deals for evaluation and then shadow him/her so you can learn how to do real estate investing legally and ethically.
