Sit back , let him build the house , and when its done , say " Thanks " 

You should check with a local land attorney and see what your options are 

Honestly the only fair way is to get separate meters . 

When I rent a place I always get asked " Utilities are included right ? " 

And I respond , " No , if they were you would be cozy warm all winter , and cool as a cucumber all summer , you wouldnt turn off a light , and your friends would be over doing their laundry " 

Raise the rent to cover more than the utilities 

Just hire a full time lifeguard .

Your best security is your neighbors , they are right there and see whats going on at your property .   What I would do is talk to the neighbor and mention that the fence looks like crap and I am willing to replace it on my dime . The neighbor will probably be thrilled with that . At the same time exchange phone numbers . Now if and when there is ever a problem at the property , they will give a friendly call 

There are 50 states in this country . Pick one or two .  There are good deals in all of them

Gotta love Baltimore  AND Maryland .    Water bill increase in the city , AND the Legislators are working on raising property taxes and fees .

 Global warming ?  There is 8 inches of SNOW in Florida . And 11 degrees in Maryland .  Nope no warming 

@Diana Teng Ask yourself this , would you buy a used car without looking at it ?   And you are wondering if you should spend lets say $125,000 on a house you have never seen ?  In an area you know nothing about ?  And you are thinking of trusting someone who will also make money off this transaction ?  

Then you arent investing , you are gambling . 

 The kids around here get $100 for a 2 car driveway .  ( Maryland )  

Small parking lot 12 cars plow and salt $450 . 2 in trigger 

Costs are regional for sure
