My goal units are largely determined by the velocity still measured more by the consumption therory by the shot glass or by the mug!

With our last two major renovations, we have also begun sub-metering water (we have to do it ourselves as the City has no interest in providing the service).With electrical and gas we say consumption drop (almost 20% for electrical) after moving to separate metering.

I was considering just lowering the rent and putting the water bill in the tenants name but that seems borderline unethical/illegal to have the tenant paying my personal water consumption.

My goal is to acquire the initial property through my savings efforts with a 20%~ down payment and then not touch the cash flow for personal consumption but instead roll it into my savings efforts to save faster and acquire a second property, and a third etc. 

I am in the information consumption phase so any insight/guidance would be much appreciated.

However, if this is for personal consumption and you hope to offset costs with STR, then it sounds amazing.

Hi Christian, I recently purchased a duplex in SLC Sugar House area and this is what I did for my duplex analysis.

Try to put off consumption until your assets can pay for your consumption.All the bestGino

I won't sugar coat it - downtown is a mess - but there are so many fabulous neighborhoods and suburbs that are thriving, we're selling a lot of homes and rents are going up and up.

Utilities with a price based on variable consumption (such as water, electricity, natural gas) not so much.
