I invest based on property usage.

The bank holding the HELOC monitors your credit each month and if the scores drop below their minimums they will close/freeze the usage or even reduce the limit holding your balance in some cases over the limit which can crush credit scores.

However, the cost can vary based on local propane prices and usage patterns.Aesthetic Appeal: Gas logs can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property, which might be a selling point for future tenants or buyers.Tenant Satisfaction and Retention: Agreeing to this proposal could increase tenant satisfaction and potentially lead to a longer tenancy, which is valuable in itself.Exit Strategy: Since the tenant has agreed to leave the gas logs if they move out, this becomes a permanent improvement to your property without additional cost to you when they leave.Market Trends: Look at the trends in your local real estate market.

On paper the number might not work BUT if the client intends to utilize the property as a second home..uh..vacation rental..and plan personal usage on the Oregon Coast, that savings needs to be factored.

What captive portal software do you use to track internet usage? 

  (5 wks of usage)She does not have maintenance fees and obviously only pays if it is used.

If nothing else, you can see where the usage is, right? 

I will expand on it a bit.One common usage of interest only is with hard money loans.  

Dont get me wrong now that it is seperately metered you can charge that as a pass through but sometimes those extra fees can exceed the usage costs.I have found it is easier to tack on a monthly fixed charge on top of rent, due with rent, then it is sending seperate charges.

In addition to an LLC for ownership and general governance, you should have operating rules that include a Usage Assignment agreement, and/or a Pay to Use agreement so that any future imbalances have an automatic process for financial adjustment.
