He/she reminds me of my Sugar Baby. :) All my best wishes on your future investments.Mindy

You had to add a lot of sugar but you got lemonade.

"Risk taking generates growth by moving resources to enterprises which create future jobs and consumption opportunities.Without stable and transparent economic roles that allow and encourage a reasonable return for risk taking, growth will not occur, as even wrong entrepreneurs will refuse to take risk.Low interest rates do not encourage creative risk taking, but create just more highly leveraged investments in low risk instruments.

The problem persisted, so we  pressure tested all the lines in the house (found two leaky valves - under 100 PSI - but nothing to explain the increased water consumption).Then we found the cause - a disgruntled tenant (who was moving at the end of his lease) who would come home in the evening and leave the bathtub spigot running for an extended period of time (another tenant ratted him out as they were tired of all our intrusions while looking for the problem).  

I was not of the understanding that the BiggerPockets community strived to sugar coat the obvious.

(Consumption will depend on how many occupants, etc but CSU will charge you as commercial for 4-plex and they also raise water rates in winter months so I would be surprised if you could keep it to $250 for a 4-plex).  

I work in sugar land in the town center area. maybe we can meet up for a lunch or even a formal meeting, my partner and i need to speak to CPA soon. 

In most areas that system is sized not based on consumption but on the ability to deliver water to fight a fire.

Folks,It is possible to build a Passivhaus compliant home (energy consumption <=15kWh/m^2 per annum) using off the shelf materials with a marginal increase in construction costs (~10-15% ... less as the workforce becomes more skilled).Primary heating and cooling of such a home can be accomplished via the ERV/HRV system with a small auxiliary heating source (there's a house here that has a 1500w auxiliary coil to provide additional heat to the fresh air supply during the coldest part of winter ... that's essentially replacing your furnace with a hair dryer).Even a near-Passivhaus construction (or retrofit) can lower energy costs 70% or more in comparison to the conventional (or even R2000) house being built in Canada these days.  

Love the sugar white sand.
