Separately metered gas & electric are generally viewed as more valuable because water is less commonly metered.

Tenants should be paying for electric and gas in any case.Third thing: make sure that you're scheduling tune-ups, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

Forcing solar and wind creates higher electricity costs and rolling blackouts.The vast majority of landlords are doing the right thing.

We planned to close off the doors but realized if we do this, the other tenant will not have access to the basement where the electrical panels are. 

Lower electric bill, carbon foot print, blah blah blah. what's not to love.BUT I'm in Florida, not sure about you.

These are 1930 buildings with old plumbing and electrical systems.

There's  plenty of parking however when my relator reached out to concord zoning they said it isn't able to be turned into a duplex " which to me means one address instead of two and I cant have separate water and electricity to the units".

So I’m in a bit of a bind, I have a duplex I’m house hacking we remodeled entire thing, new hvac, electric panels, electric main, updated plumbing, water heaters, furnace, install central air, roof.

That's at least 10 bathrooms, 10 kitchens with all new plumbing and electrical. probably new hvac too.

I was like no snit but I am not reducing the price as that was clearly visible when you walked the property (which they did)If there is an electrical issue that comes up that is a problem - sure I can fix it or give some $ to get it resolved but for blatant obvious things I do not negotiate as it should have already been part of the offer
