I am not sure how much electricity/gas would be.

And fined retroactivally.Additionally, if a tenant has an accident (slips/ falls/etc), or something goes hugely wrong with the dwelling (fire/electrical/etc), your insurance WILL NOT COVER the claim.

But the electrical will be properly secured as well with a moisture barrier.

Quote from @January Johnson:Yes, cash flow is hard to come by but STR management is certainly a full service offering and requires a good amount of time, energy and care to be done right.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in finance, a commercial real estate certificate, and a minor in building construction and project management, with a focus on energy-efficient housing.

Also utilities and sitework should be less as you do not need to bring in two electrical services, water services and run two sewer services and connection fees.

They truly don't put the time, energy, and expense into locating property owners (many of which do not even want to sell) in order to buy their raw, un-entitled land.If you're a big builder, your phone is ringing with people or their representatives wanting to sell you their land.

It’s meant as a deterrent so the tenant is more conscious of the energy they use.

Do NOT pay $100 or whatever for an EIN # either, get it for free directly on IRS website with the same amount of energy. 

(The arrangement was that they pay me for electricity because they share electric with other unit.) and they started to complain about roof leak which caused them hardship.
