My net is significantly less due to numerous pre-tax expenses (Daycare FSA, Health FSA, retirement, etc etc) we gross around $56,000, a large difference from what I first posted.As far as SFH vs. multi-unit, I can certainly understand the desire for multi and the increased cash flow, however at the moment I don't feel we are up for the task.

All 3 of those elements combined with EBB can produce very high electric bills.
