The reason it always seems to happen is the appraiser doesn't want to be in hot water in the event the property is foreclosed and so they tend to appraise the property VERY CLOSE to the asking price - all my properties that have loans have been within 2K of the appraisal price. 

The screws have rubber washers to seal to the metal and keep water out.

Hello from across the water in Manhattan.

  $200/month water/sewer/garbage, $50/month common electricity. 

I am trying to get the the expenses down, and the water/electric use for the building is pretty high.

They're going to spend billions on a rail system that won't help.When the earthquake hit in 2006, people freaked out and bought up all the bottled water and rice just because the airport was closed for a few days.

If you at least factored in another 5% for Capital Expenditures (which I still feel is low) then maybe you can get by with 5% for repairs, but you currently have no money being set aside for big expenses like roofs, water heaters, furnaces/ boilers, siding, any paving etc..

I'm very unfamiliar with water that is sourced from a well, anything I should be weary of?

This lot includes a foundation stubbed for electrical (underground)/plumbing/sewer/water etc. the former property was deemed a total loss in a house fire and the prior home owner cleared and stubbed the foundation (slab on grade).
