Ongoing routine maintenance tasks will save you a lot in the long run too...like pest control, tracking common utility usage, etc.Tenant screening is pretty much the same, but again, for class C you can expect high turn over rates, so plan for it. 

Another option if local/state law allows is just put your own water meters on each side and get one bill, and based on usage bill it back (in new leases).

IMO the names have specific usage and intent.A deed is a paper with a Grantor & a Grantee;  a transfer of rights. 

My concern with the personal line of credit would be that I would go over the 30% usage of my credit and subsequently hurt my credit.  

See if the utility company will let you know bill and usage info.

The quants are out to monkey with our Internet usage by creating models to exploit our web surfing patterns.

They can also watch their usage to lower bills as well.

Full usage of funds or tax impact if not fully used.  

For example, normal usage is 5 cubic feet per quarter per person. 

(Story removed)Now, as much as it seems highly inappropriate to move to talk of business, I feel I must in order that the truth be spoken in your direction.
