I live in a rural residential neighborhood that has recently been zoned medium density (townhomes).

These school districts do not compare to a district like Lower Merion but I believe they are still highly ranked.

Here’s what I do with my rentals:I either have tenants split the utility bills or include a clause in the lease that states if the gas or water bill exceeds a specific amount ($X), the tenant will be responsible for the overage, provided there are no leaks or other infrastructure issues contributing to the high usage.To determine this $X amount:Water: I take the highest water bill I’ve had over the past year (excluding periods where leaks occurred) and add about $15 to account for small fluctuations or potential increases.Gas: For gas, I calculate the median bill during the winter (when usage is highest) and the median bill in the summer (when usage is typically lowest).

Give us the high level overview!

If you learn zoning then you can understand density, if you can understand density then you can reach a number for estimated gross development value.

I have a property where a tenant moved out that was paying high rent of $7,400 a month including NNN.
