Electric: is the easiest to split, but may require holes cut in walls to separate the units.Gas: gas lines aren't as flexible as wires, but it can usually be done affordably.Water: most cities will NOT install additional water meters on a property.

You should have all the contracts readily at your disposal. having been an agent for 2 years already, it's really concerning that you wouldn't readily know the contracts for such as of yet, so I have to assume you have done exceptionally little the last 2 years. 

Here are a few innovative strategies that have been game-changers for my portfolio:- Co-Living Spaces: With affordability concerns rising, co-living setups are attracting young professionals and students.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

Cut out expensive stuff you do not need but just want.Try to get that monthly amount needed to survive to a nominal amount.3.

That is where the concern would be for me.Yeah, older tenants may think that it automatically makes someone a criminal of something, but I would just explain the card and that it at least, in theory, has a medical purpose, unlike cigarette smoke which kills the smokers and everyone else around.

This way, you can easily revisit details and pick up right where you left off.Avoid cutting corners to save money, as it often costs more in the end.

My concern is that a lot of younger, inexperienced and unsophisticated folks get fooled into believing that their hard earned money is going to "buy" property in these kinds of arrangements (i.e. believing they are not "throwing money away on rent") whereas throwing their money away on rent + even more money should the option fail is a better description of what is actually happening. 

Am I not cut out for this?

I've stuck with the tried and true reasons I've heard to keep my search ranking high (quality photos, stellar reviews, updates to my listing) and that helps but in slow season, when I'm not willing to cut my rates as much as some of my competitors, it can be a ghost town.
