Im in Massachusetss so I had Mass save (program to help with energy usage paid for by the utility companies) come through to do an energy assessment and identified there is little insulation in the entire building and that there is a lot of knob and tube wiring throughout the property.

I have a duplex in Ohio where the tenants pay $1500/mo; I pay mortgage & utilities, about $800/mo.

I then factor in any utilities (besides water, sewer, and trash) that we are including if any to come up with a recommended price.4.

Business plan would be to rent lots for $400-500/month, tenants pay all utilities.
