Hot water is usually separated it is just the cold water that is often not.For a very large building a flat fee is the move because the back billing and tracking of who paid for what would be hectic, but for a small MF like a duplex it is very easy.I split the bill by the fractional amount of people who live in the unit.In other words, the amount of people that live in the unit divided by the total amount of people living in the builidng.So if there are 3 people upstairs and 2 people downstairs.the upstairs pays 3/5 of the bill, and downstairs pays 2/5.No need to separate anything, you know the tenants will cover 100% of the bill and this approach is fair.

Outbound means you’re reaching out to potential sellers through SMS, cold calling, door knocking—stuff like that, where you’re doing cold outreach to see if they’re interested in selling.

I've had the best success cold calling, but I know direct mailers work well too if you're sending a lot. 

In a cold market we let anyone and everyone see the property.
