What do other investors typically pay for Water/Sewer/Garbage service annually for a property in Chicago.  

With a good pool of renters in the area, rents have increased in the last couple years but are now leveling out.  

The property had lots of water damage, plumbing issues, mold, the landscaping was out of control.

Section 8 in Cleveland drives me nuts.It is like dealing with the Cleveland division of water.

I recently saw a spreadsheet detailing a hedge fund's purchase of a 40 loan, $15 mil UPB, loan pool.

I haven't personally done this since I've stuck with SFRs, giving up some of the better cash flow and diversification from multi's in exchange of a better renter pool, appreciation, and liquidity of SFRs.... again, a great question for your mortgage broker/banker, though; this is why it helps to network and build your local REI team, as well as your virtual one here on BP ...

There is only one gas meter, one water heater, 2 furnaces, 2 separate laundrys and kitchens. 

@Jacob Tomko - I would take a look across the water at Bremerton if you find Tacoma too expensive for your tastes.

In the city, you have Water Revenue Bureau.

Watering the foundation is part of the gig.
