If someone was over during a high consumption month I'd give then a notice/warning for the first month along with some energy consumption tips then tack it onto the rent. 

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

For example is a personal loan from a bank is 7.5 % that you could use as a down payment (after its seasoned), and your 401k loan is 4.5% but the 401k is expected to return 7.5% per year the money you save on one end you miss out on the other end basically and if your 401k returns are 20%, then you lose out significantly. 2.

You are on the hook and can be personally sued, for everything you own.

You could also engage the services of a buyer’s agent.

@Tomas FalconWelcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

I’m in MN where the house average is $360k.   

I am with @Bruce Woodruff on the build.

Best of luck on the journey and be sure to bump those rents next renewal! 

The idea is simple: purchase a property, live in one part, and rent out the rest to offset your mortgage or even generate profit.
