For rentals where the landlord pays all utilities, what strategies do you guys use to incentivize lower utility usage from your tenants and reduce your overall utility bill? 

Granted, more bedrooms, more people; and work from home means more usage of hvac, etc.

There are three tenants in the single family home.I recently received troubling reports form Roommate A (female) that Roommate B (male) has been acting inappropriately.

So will the usage of gas decrease as the weather become hotter?

These rules of thumb of 2%, 1% stuff... fine for certain cycles... inappropriate for others.

If I were to buy this property, how do I go about billing the tenants for water usage?

Farmers don't rent ag land, they buy it, and it usually takes years of farming to get land to be ready for crop usage realistically, and those raising animals out here, they do that on their own land as well...

Leverage is a tool, when used appropriately it’s beneficial, when used inappropriately it can kill you.If you are trying to make RE your business and quit your day job, you need to treat it and manage it like a business.

This has been especially frustrating as I live across the country.After 6 months of suffering, I finally got clarity on how meters should be assigned: Entire house has a shared gas meterUnit One (1 BR) and Unit Two (1 BR) each has its own electric meterUnit Three (2 BR) shares an electric meter with the basement, which only the tenants in Unit One & Two have access to for laundry (Unit Three has in-unit laundry); apparently this meter also powers the fan for the furnace and the hot water heaterI'm seeking advice on how to fairly charge Unit Three for electric usage.

You need a qualified professional to guide you on the usage and administration of the plan in accordance with IRS guidelines.
