And Bill Gulley thanks for the feedback!

@Bill Gulley  In the five years that we've lived here, we've never had a late payment. 

Optimally you want the tenants to have a direct connection and bill to the utility company.

Someone told me that the best way to build your credit is to make small payments on your credit card bill instead of fully paying it off.If that's true should I make small payments before the due date or monthly payments instead.I'm as new as it gets so please share your knowledge with me.

When I self manage, I can go tighten the p-trap under the vanity and save a $100 plumbing bill plus the manager fee.

assuming that I need ANY of the rent in order to make the monthly bills of the property or should i only be looking at scenarios where i can cover all monthly costs regardless which would severely limit my buying ability?

Bill Gulley Actually, NPN interest me because I can see similarities between rehabbing a note and rehabbing a house; just lots more sanitary.

No utility bills in collection.  

I am not a huge fan of bills paid either, however, this deal was going to be very good until this info was uncovered.David, meeting went as expected, agent loyalty lies with seller even though seller is in the wrong here.
