@Redgy Saint-Germain I agree with you that the agent's message was inappropriate.

Indoor is much easier to control for pests, more efficient water usage (on the west coast, this is a HUGE deal because if you can have permits to do business, but if the state says you don't get any water, then you're done), higher quality product, etc.My biggest concern would be that large funds (hedge funds, pharma companies, etc.) are not involved in the industry yet because of the political climate around it. 

I have a lack of usage mostly.

Good Morning Warriors,
Is there anyone PCSing to Great Lakes, IL? If so, I would love to connect to share what I have done and help you do the same. Same goes for anyone else moving to the Chicago/Milwaukee area. Let...

I can almost guarantee that you will get very little to no information about these offers because of confidentiality that us agents must follow.The both of these are 100% case by case and indirect and speculative by nature, but keep them in mind while walking properties in addition to everything that you are supposed to be looking for such as potential value add, conditions of units & ages of Capex items in the basement, lease/tenant situations, etc.

This can help to reduce energy usage and save money on your energy bills in the long run.

They paid their own lights and gas and the same scenario I posted above would pertain to them as well regarding their lights and gas.For the tenants who had to pay the water bill, which we as landlords paid for ourselves, on behalf of the tenants, (and of course this would be stipulated in the Lease Agreement that they would be responsible for the lights, gas, and water bills) we would then turn around and bill the tenant for the water bill by typing up an Invoice out of QuickBooks and sending the tenant the a bill for the Water and also sending them a copy of the water bill sent to us from the Water Company to prove we weren't trying to charge them for more usage than what they used.  

You cannot set limits on thermostats, water usage, etc., nor can you charge a differential above a set amount.  

But unit A tenants (currently vacant) will have to pay for the water usage of that bathroom. 

With a new purchase I game out sensible estimates figuring age and usage and yearly revisits to my proforma to narrow it all down. maintenance and capex tip: I never buy properties built before 1990...I think I got that from @j-scott
