One time an insured purchased a house on the water only to find out everyone in the neighborhood had an easement over their property to get to the lake. 

I'm trying to refine my deal analysis skill through trial and error and one problem I'm running into that is effecting my profit is when to decide if I'm going to be paying for water, power, and garbage?

I'm training the team currently to really fine filter out Podio and make it a pure lead machine.

Since you're near the water I'm assuming there are vacation rentals near you. 

Call the local water authority.I'm unclear about the trash expense.

They always bring a furnace filter, etc to ensure that gets changed and it helps make sure there isn't any big ticket items being ignored or damage being done.  

The landlord pays water/sewage, gas (for hot water), and trash collection.

This seller might be good but they might not point the phone towards the water mark on the ceiling or such that makes you want to have the roof inspected separately or reveals a plumbing issue you want repaired.Many trades are still working especially on vacant properties during covid-19Finally, follow David Greene's advice from a recent podcast where they are writing contingencies to allow for appraisal's and extra closing time depending on what future measures might restrict key points in your closing process.

Your eyes watered on the unit next door. 

I'm in this to make money, not to hope for the best and take chances.Not everyone is like that though, and with more risk (sometimes) comes more rewards.Personally, (at this time) I'm not seeing a "Bridge over Troubled Water" for a lot of people right now and that means possible opportunities for other people.And every location is different, for instance New York City is under lockdown as well as many other places and that will factor into it too.
