I've been looking at a lot of multi family buildings here in NH, and since many of them are older homes that have been converted into apartments (2-4 units), many of which have common heating systems, so the rent includes heat.With a background in (commercial) energy management and utility billing systems, these seem like they can be good opportunities for me to go in, lower rent and recover utility costs (subject to existing leases of course).

Thanks again for your warm energy.

Should Person 2 be compensated extra because of possibly more time/energy spent making repairs?

I have yet to see the big crash that is talked about, but then again, I don't own in the energy corridor.  

The end result is, I didn't lose money in a bad situation but a hard lesson: If it is too far for me to want to spend my energy and time on, it isn't for me.

You've got then energy & drive.  

Your selection of "projects" will be different in each scenario.We are buy and hold investors but even among our selection of rentals, we would have different priorities:student rental units - looking for simple. healthy, efficient, durable, and easy to clean;rooming house - focus is even more heavily on energy/resource efficiency since we carry the costs.executive rentals - higher end finishes and furnishings.

They don't make anymore land in Oakland, but they do make more bullets.

. :-( There are companies who do the separate energy  billing for you, however.
