Well for all you out there wanting to make it RE this is something to strive for.The bigger boys have moved up to light jets..

I have found so many of your previous guests, who may not be best-selling authors or multi-gazillionaire investors with private jets, to have made much more valuable contributions to my education. 

This increase in the hydro bill is going to be due to either increased consumption (more kWh when compared to the same period last year) or a rate increase on the part of the utility (this would include tired pricing).If increased consumption you have basically three causes:a) Tenants keep the place warmer and/or consume more hot water than last years tenants;b) The weather in the last billing period has been colder this year than the same period last year;c) Your building envelope is less airtight than it was last year or one, or more, of your electric resistance heaters have failed (the thermostat issue raised earlier).Even though you have made no changes to the property, there is the possibility that something as simple as a piece of weatherstripping on/in a door or window has failed (or maybe window is not closed tightly) which is causing more air leakage.As mentioned earlier, a thermo camera will help you locate air leakages and heat loss through the envelope, but you still will not know which of the leaks is new and which were there last year.  

The longer runways will allow more private and larger jets to land.

LOLBen, I don't think the Sharks or the Jets would agree with you.Sorry, what was the topic of this thread?

I would pay off my mortgage, all my loans, buy a jet and put the rest in a savings account.ROFLMAO.No, no, not really.

A few months ago, we received a letter from our HOA informing us that our tenants destroyed the jet pump in the community jacuzzi and we were being charged over $1,200 for it's replacement.

The result was needing a clean out installed which required the front yard to be dug up and the lines then hydrojetted. 

Other areas, yes big time, close to joining the jet set but no cigar.
