If it was municipal water, I would bill the tenant back because the cost would be variable based on usage. 

They then issued a special assessment where each owner got charged a percentage of the total bill that included the expensive sewer line replacement, but our portion was less than we would have paid to fix our own unit, so we were fine with that.

He wanted the appraisal to be high for a loan.The county had a much higher valuation.He went with the appraisal and his charm.They accepted the appraised value and adjusted the tax bill.

Typically in northern states the cost for natural gas is way cheaper than electricity so over the life of the system your utility bills most likely will be cheaper with gas heat.Ductless split systems use electricity to power in heating mode.

Hi all,I was wondering if anyone in NC has dealt with a tenant crypto mining at their rental property which caused significant increases in utility bills (for furnished rentals with utilities included).

Quote from @Bill B.: Until you have more than 20-30 properties Quicken (quickbooks little brother) is overkill for this.

I am leaning heavily towards doing submetering of gas and water on the property and billing the tenants back based on the usage.

If I contract a home and use you as my inspector, since I have never used you before and don't have a way to judge your work, If you use me as your inspector, determine upfront whether you want me to be nitpicky and create the largest report of meaningless findings to aid in getting a price negotiated lower (often due for new bills), a minimum number of findings to make it easier to purchase (often the desire expressed from real estate agents who don't want to blow up the transaction) or somewhere in between these two extremes. 

Convos with PM are fine, but assurances dont pay the bills.

For example a younger person with only a few years of credit history with a $100 written off cell phone bill from when they switched companies will have a bad score because they don't have enough history to offset that small negative.
