With the rising costs of heating fuel, gas, and electricity as well as increasing interest in energy-efficiency and green building in general, this has the potential for being your biggest resale points in coming years.

When your tenant brings in bed bugs, you'll need to handle it.

You can usually have agreements where tenants pay utilities based on a square footage or per soul living in units, but you can be in trouble if anything more than the actual bill is paid among the customers, it's best to stay out of that loop.There were two suits I'm aware of, one was a subdivision providing water the other was an apartment building splitting electric bills.

Pretty fun stuff, especially when you see them struggle with the most basic of questions (gas/electricity, roof isolation y/n).

Yes, the tenant mows the lawn but the lawn mower is rechargeable electric so no gas is used.

It makes me think he is trying to cover up some electrical/plumbing problems.

In the year I stay there I probably won't save the cost of the windows on the electric bill.

Books, articles, blogs, whatever materials you caught this bug from are no longer applicable, if someone says you, as an individual without having a broker's license can "wholesale" mortgage notes is just blowing smoke in your ear.

These people have means but they're not wasting electricity.

A few years ago, when I got the real estate bug, I went to appraisal school and started apprenticing in that, but found that I hated it and didn't want to stay with it (although I'm glad I did it, because now I know how they are done!).
