RUBS is the most cost effective solution to bill back tenants their fair share of usage.

But truly consider what you'd buy next if you sell, potential heloc usage, appreciation, and cash flow if you keep it, and all of the other variables.

But before reaching to everyone involved I would make sure the charges actually relate to a third party's usage rather than your connection, account establishment fees, etc.

We have for years discouraged potential clients with visions of some "scheme" to use their own efforts or a quid pro quo arrangement as a means to move value inappropriately into an IRA. 

It will be the best decision for resale value, tenant retention, and likely energy usage.   

I got six people living in this duplex, so daily usage should average 480 to 600 gallons per day.

First, I'd reach out to the water company/utility and ask for information about usage history.

The question is whether anyone has dealt with this and what they have done to manage the situation, not whether readers have opinions (informed or not) on language usage or neighborhood ranking systems and which class to invest in and how... 

Here in my area of California, those would be astronomical charges if we had a Cleveland winter here but it seems rates are much better in the Midwest, even though usage would be much higher.

Looking for some advice on time usage and how to manage your "today investors" with your "tomorrow investors" all while servicing your "right now contracts".
