We distribute the total charges back to each apartment unit in the form of a utility bill based on the number of occupants and/or or square footage of each unit.

i want to give full disclosure to them.if it matters, here's the deal:small duplex, out of town owner, he owes 20k, they are asking 18k but are willing to accept far less (but the wife isn't supposed to know he said that, lol) it's in his name only anyway.unfortunately, the only recent sales in that neighborhood are <$10k for same sq footage/bed/baths. and i'm sure if i offered them 8k, they'd take it, but that would leave them having to come up with 12k to pay off the loan.i'd be happy to pay 20k over 5-6 years... i mean have tenants pay off the loan in 5-6 years, then free and clear pure cash flow. this would allow owner to get out from under this upside down deal without paying another cent.

A standard parking space is 162 sqft.I also think the parking space is far less valuable, and produces far less rent than the rentable square footage you could replace it with, and thus the parking spaces are a net negative to the real estate investor's cash flow, not a positive one. 

When it comes to certain details for example: location, square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, close by attractions who out ranks who?

The house is only 750 sq ft and 3 other properties (same sq footage) listed in the neighborhood have avg daily rates of $150-180. 

Is the square footage and structure similar to your comps?

As far as the city is concerned, you only should worry about permitting when you are making major changes to layout, square footage, plumbing, or electrical.

Besides if you have a good enough memory to give a contractor rough dimensions they can probably give you an idea of costs involved to make a sun room into a permanent additional square footage to the living space of the house.

I also add or subtract a bit if the square footage, bathroom count, storage, garage, laundry, upgrades are different from what others are offering. 

I also have homes in Burleson and surrounding areas that get about 80-90% of rent to square footage.
