Utility Bill Back in San Antonio MSA?

[Billy Chu]

Hello everyone, I'm a new investor focusing on acquiring B/C class small multifamily properties (2-4 units) with goal of COC ~10% (or with potential to get there by adding value).

In the hope of increasing cashflow, I'm interested in billing back utilities to tenants.  I had seen a thread in 2015 on this topic but nothing recent. 

Anyone out there billing back utilities to tenants? 

-Only if separate metering? 

- billing back water /trash?

- any push back on this idea from property management?

thank you!
