Utilities were shut off months ago because of nonpayment, taxes aren’t current, and the home needs work including roof repair, mold cleanup in a bathroom, and general cleaning.

From this data, you can utilize a website bestplaces.net that will give you a breakdown of the percentage of homes that sold, in various price ranges, for a given zip code.

Put all utilities in your name, keep the heat at 55.

I haven't confirmed this, but I am preparing for it.Overall, we still intend to form and utilize an LLC as we want to prioritize scalable risk mitigation over highest potential cash flow. 

On the other hand, properties with acreage, resources, water, privacy and utility will see increasing demand as investors 're-value' real assets. 

More folks now are looking for subdividing land that most folks will build on with most if not all utilities in place.

I pay all utilities. 

While your rents might be higher, you need to also factor in - vacancy (how quickly you will occupy your units in between tenants), cost of refresh (painting, cleaning, etc) and how much responsibility yo have over utilities, I cant imagine having the MTR tenants cut the grass or shovel the snow. 

This can materially alter opex compared to a multi-family building that requires snow removal, common area cleaning & utilities, pest service and other misc. opex items that may not apply to SFH'sThen there's the reliance on self-reported data from individual investors, many of whom self-perform work, defer maintenance, or ignore routine capex items that prudent real estate operators treat as ordinary annual expenses.

You do have some interaction via FB yet you can save yourself a ton of money teaching yourself on here, BP.
