Why flush good money down the toilet - put your money into real estate!

Your're starting early so in a few years you'll be full of knowledge and flush with capital :) good luck!

Since this is second time and given what they were flushing.

If you're looking to reduce the utilities only low flow faucets and shower headsdual flush toiletslower the temp on the water heater.Make sure the HVAC filter is changed monthlyPreset thermostat.

Unless you're dealing with one tenant, it is very hard to prove who would have flushed those items (and keep in mind some of the males might have wives, girlfriends, friends with benefits lol).

Same goes for the surveillance cameras as well.What really is problematic is that no matter how much you try to tell people NOT to FLUSH down things like diapers that will cause the sewers to back up, it ALWAYS happen... and, according to my Contractor.... there is no worse job than to clean up that mess.So.... correct some of these that lead to over-consumption, high maintenance costs, etc. and you may get a better, more affordable housing situation.I don't think it's a large percentage of the people that are the problem.

This keeps them from calling every time a lightbulb burns out or a toy gets flushed down the toilet... 

The worst thing is that the downstairs toilet keeps overflowing when they flush the upstairs toilet.

There are different situations and different models for income/outgo, and different markets for cost/rents where an analysis that is as general, and can best be described as using "fudge factors"...then making decisions based on that "fudged analysis", should probably be flushed out from the start.
