Now, if you spend the profit on consumption (a.k.a. buying a new house, a new car, clothes, jewelry, etc.), it'll just slow down your wealth building strategy.

Many people have had success disputing their bills based on past consumption and they’ve gotten traction with local media.

There is a shortage of construction workers needed to fill future construction demand, and significant obstacles to expanding the supply of potential workers.He thus predicts:Construction wages will rise due to competition for scarce talent, stealing workers from other blue-collar industries.Workers will continue to flee the rust belt to the Southeast and Coasts where construction jobs will be.Since immigration laws will impede importing labor, sectors like agriculture and manufacturing will continue to move overseas.Other sectors will also hurt as rising costs for construction crowd out consumption. 

I'd be easy to argue that whatever you save now is insignificant in the future, but what you are really doing is training yourself to delay consumption now to reap benefits in the future.

At some point during the next 20 years that interest rate will obviously go up.The kicker here is that, after getting used to that $1333 interest only payment (adjusting eating out and consumption habits, etc), even refinancing into a 30 year fixed and being back at year 1 of 30 isn't going to get it that low again. 

Figured I'd share and I'll update with some overall cost/use consumption numbers...

I don't necessarily hold Austrian Economics views in high regard, but it's undoubtedly true that the Fed inadvertently creates asset bubbles by trying to control prices, inflation, interest rates, consumption, etc. 

I definitely thought it was strange for the price and the amount of time on the market.The fuel consumption is pretty high.

My example was geared towards a single family home, it is hard to estimate what both units in a duplex would take need, without knowing the energy consumption.

That is what you can spend on submetering and not go backwards, so to speak.As Rosston states, though, simplicity does beg to have rents inclusive of the electricity consumption.
