If this sale happens, it will probably be a cash deal, at least that's what it's sounding like to me.The potential buyers concern is his ability to rent both upper and lower flats.

Hi,I'm selling ~ 1/2 of an acre of land for residential development in a beautiful, gated community called La Enmorada. This is an area of a lot of ex-pats and longtime vacation takers, or people that have rentals the...

With their lease renewal coming up we'd like to include a flat rate for their Water Sewage and Garbage (WSG) portion of the utilities.

Alternatively, you could work with an attorney or real estate agent to help and pay them a flat fee.6.

You could charge a flat fee on utilities with a clause that states if bills exceed $X, then you split based on square footage.I've done all of the above and it has worked out.Regarding the thermostat, you may want to put in a mini split for the JADU in case your tenants like one way but you like the temperature another.

I have possible deal I could make happen with a friend of mine with his two flat in Chicago.

If they want their fee to be from the proceeds of the sale , get rid of the % and write down a flat number . 

Quote from @Kenneth Bell: I have the chance to develop a 35 door BTR project that happens to be in an opportunity zone.

I see a lot of people doing all these crazy calculations on 3 and 4 flat deals (When I started i did it too, ha). 

Ultimately your bet in keeping it is that expenses (hoa fees) stay flat and you see higher appreciation (especially in rent prices) over the next several years.
