For instance, if three 60 watt bulbs are shared, they ding you for $3.18/month of shared usage, and insist that you take that amount off of the resident's rent(I have it down to the penny, since this happened to me a few weeks ago.

However, I haven't purchased either yet so I don't have first hand usage. 

I own rental property in 28270, and looking for next one.I have my spreadsheet that I like to go neighborhood by neighborhood and build comparative analysis, rank by bunch of metrics and then once I have narrowed down areas and don't hesitate to make an early offer in appropriate price range.

My friend, water usage is something that can get out of control quietly and quickly if you aren't paying attention, and most landlords do not.

Part of your credit is based on the usage ratio, which means that if you always wait for the statement, that ratio will always be higher.Also, if your current card company won't raise your limit, go get a bunch of non-fee cards from other providers.

If it is reported when the credit report is pulled, the revolving credit usage will likely drop (due to new credit being available) but you may take a hit for having a newly opened credit line. 

Recently, I have covered A/C usage during this great heat wave in the southeast, of which they said they would watch usage...

The fastest way to instantly get credit is to have a responsible adult with good credit and responsible credit card usage add you as an "authorized user" to their account.

A couple of common examples:If the assessed value is higher that market value, it could be because local/state laws require the property to be taxed based on it's highest and best use, rather than current usage. 

So the water usage will certainly go up with full occupancy, but I wouldn't imagine it would be much more than the $6600 you have estimated.
