Hope everyone is doing well,Looking for vetted contractors (specifically plumbing/water specialists at the moment) in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia area.

MIne includes but not limited to: roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

There is water, electricity and septic at each space.  

There will be unit turnover costs, and capital items (water heaters, roofs, etc) that may need repaired during your ownership, so make sure you are saving for those with these reserves.To be honest, there are deals out there that make sense, but in today's market finding SF rentals where the numbers work is very challenging.  

The only thing is  if we installed washers/dryers, tenants would have access to a rear alleyway as well as the electrical panels, fuse boxes, main panel, water heater, and phone connections.  

I'd like to put all utilities on the tenants (electric, water, sewer, garbage) but this might depend on how the house is metered. 

If the city doesn't allow the tenant to put utilities in their name (for example, my Cleveland, OH tenants can't put the water bill in their name because it stays with the property), I invoice them and attach the bill so they know they're being charged for their usage.

Rent rate includes the following utilities, up to $150 per month: water, electric, sewer, trash, and natural gas.

I have looked into doing an offshore sale in international waters to avoid CA tax, but if I take the boat up north I will be paying essentially the same amount of taxes once I get to Seattle.

General permit fees, proffers, water/sewer tap fees and the process of setting taps and connecting.
