Milk, gas, taxes, insurance, lumber, sneakers, etc.When the lease is up for renewal each year, it includes an automatic 3% increase.

Billionaire sports icon, oil and gas, and real estate magnate Jerry Jones for example has bought as far south as Waxahachie.

Meals, gas, and anything thing else they will try to tack on are NOT included.

(Gas, water/sewer, trash, lawn care etc.)

We have natural gas being installed later this week with two meters and will be putting two boilers in to be able to separate the two units heat and hot water.The problem is that our tenants lease is up this coming month and the boilers will not be done in time.

(Gas, water/sewer, trash, lawn care etc.)

A gallon of gasoline can cost up to $6 at some gas stations in downtown LA.

To determine if it's worth doing a 4-Plex in addition to the cost you listed, I would recommend looking at; is the lot already graded, and ready for construction, are sewer, water, and gas already at the lot for connection, what type of rents are on your proforma, the biggest one many people forget about are the developer fees charged by the municipality to allow you to build the project, etc.There are a few soft cost items that will be a part of the project that do not get lower just because you're doing a smaller project.

Maintenance,preventive maintenance has caught my attention.Although I can't become specialized in all of them (it requires continous learning) ,what I learn I implement at my job .My daily chores are:-repairs (light electrical work,light plumbing work, patching the flat roof,drywall repairs,sheetrock repairs,etc)-maintenance (painting, cleaning,light labdscaping)-preventive maintenance on pumps,tanks,gears that are vital to the daily property operations-find ways to increase heating efficiency and lower the cost at the same time-find ways to lower water consumption in the building and energy (electric and gas) consumption-increase the buildings occupants comfort-increase the NOI for the landlord-collect the rent-resolve tenants issues-basic inspection (I look for air leaks, gas leaks,water leaks) (of course a property inspector has much more skill in doind that than me)All of that brings me joy in my life, but it doesn't bring a high income (because I don't have a specialized skill)So I would love to find a way to acquire a property and put my skills into my properties.Thank you for answering, John

Hi All,I have electric & gas sub-metered already.
