@Kevin SmithYou are not going to like my harsh opinion, but I won't sugar-coat it. 

I lived at the Reserve on Sugar Mountain that was roughly 5,000 ft in elevation and really long range views that’s on the back of the ski mountain.

The point of making money at the end is to have consumption of things you want, now that might be food, gas money, your internet bill, and yes your housing. 

Try sending your students health treats before finals (like protein bars - not sugar or candy). 

This is production.When you buy personal housing, you're helping your own situation and you might benefit from appreciation, but this is fundamentally an act of consumption, not production. 

Adding to Deborah's list - a person who evaluates and analysis your books on a monthly basis and bluntly asks questions rather than sugar coating it. that is what offer as QuickBooks consultant. 

The house meter is for consumption not specific to the individual units...such as exterior lights, power to the washer and dryer, sprinkler system, outside hosebib etc...If existing water lines are behind walls, under slab, it is going to be impossible.Also, if you separate electric but not water, and your water heater is electric, make sure you are not supplying hot water to unit B on a branch of a line powered by unit A's electric.

Marcus, good deal, when I post comments they are not all directed at the OP, many are for general consumption.

In making the asset class available and open for public consumption concepts surely get dumbed down.

Sugar Land and Katy have been good for us, the Woodlands etc.
