@Larry CersosimoReal estate investors frequently utilize the $250 cash flow per door measure as a reference, especially when purchasing multi-family buildings.

Parking in the driveway right in front of the house and motion sensor lights that come on when they pull in provide an added measure of safety.

get estimates for having it done, and map out what you'll save (as the owner) not having to pay the utilities per year, and measure your COCR. let's say it would cost 10k to have the utilities all split (i have NO idea what it would really cost), and you'd save $450/mo not having to pay utilities (a somewhat reasonable estimate for a duplex with water/sewer, electric, gas).. that would be a 54% cash-on-cash return, making that investment up front. when many investors are looking for an 8-12% COCR, 54% sounds pretty dang good. it will also make the property more appealing for a future buyer if the utilities are separate.
