hi-Short answer: around $30 per unit/mo for sewer, $15-20 per unit for water (for 2 & 3 fams)Longer answer:The charge for water is based on how many ccf (hundred cubic feet) of water you use (100 ccf = 700ish gallons of water. )Sewer is based on an annual meter charge, prorated monthly, plus how much water you used.

I find that costs range from about $13 per gallon to over $60 per hour.  

You must have used quite a few gallons of primer in that kitchen!

my biggest pet peeve with my handyman is that he is messy and doesn't clean up well...washed his paint brushes so much in the bath tub in one unit that it clogged the cast iron..to be fair the pipes were on their last months anyways, but now i specify to use the hose outside....most handymen will leave a mess until the last day, and then be pissed when they have to clean it up..it's better to just clean up your little messes every day..definitely let him know he is responsible for cleaning before he leaves every day...also, my handyman likes me to buy all items, as he never has money...this is good bc i am not getting upcharged for his services of going to the store...then again, everytime he needs an extra gallon of paint, or even one little fitting for pex, he calls me while i'm at work and can't do the job until i get him the piece....I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...for now on, it will be worth it to me to pay a little extra for their services of gathering all materials, and i will get quotes for materials and labor..but that depends on how busy you are i suppose...also i like to specify that they can get paid on Wednesdays, per job they have fully completed...i will not run out there on a friday night bc he needs money and finished a job..going in, they know wednesday is pay day for them for the work that has been completed so far..let me know if you have any questions, as i have worked with a few shady people!!

A ceiling fan, a gallon of paint, a new faucet, etc...

The generic "speed cote" paint at the depot has covered every color I've tried in two coats, at under $15 a gallon.

Tons of call but more than ever they are making me do extensive homework to pick out the bad apples.Its like making maple syrup, takes 50 gallons of sap to make a gallon of maple syrup.

As if $3 per gallon isn't enough, they have to go and put $.18 on top of that.

Also, I use 16% for vacancy - 8% for real vacancy, plus my mangement company charges approx. 1 month rent to fill a vacancy, so instead of putting that under expenses, I tie it to vacancy. 400 gallons oil at $3 per gallon per unit ... $500 per year for home warrantee (I'll pay for evenging out the bumps) -- 10% repairs, etc. actually comes out to 58% expenses as percentage of rent, -- and doing this with SFU and multi units, six ways to sunday always results in that number being btwn 42.3% and 58 percent, so I know the "50%" rule isn't too bad, all in all.

I was able to sell the old Viking for $400 to someone who didn't mind a little elbow grease . . . and a few gallons of clorox!
