Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) for Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex

[Gustavo Gonzalez]

Hi All:

So in my interest in apartment complex investing (I'm looking to scale to 20-40 units) it occurred to me that I'm paying water and sewer cost for the duplex, triplex and fourplex properties I have. 

Has anyone implemented RUBS on these 2-4 unit properties?  Pros vs Cons?

Thanks,

Gus

I use RUBS water billing (w/o submeters) for ALL of my Properties. Been doing it for over 10 years! (Best move I ever made!) Water usage went down 40% after we implemented RUBS...   We pay all the water always, then add their pro-rata share to their next monthly rent bill

Don't shouldn't ALL Landlords did this? It's a no-brainer...

One of the best things Ive done as a Landlord!
