The IRS is consistently very suspicious of that as a way for you to inappropriately access profit. 1.

The water billing from last quarter to this quarter shows a increase in usage so my question to the PM did someone move in??

Am I legally allowed to increase his rent a little to cover the extra water usage? 

.$35+ of it is likely a per-meter "customer charge" and not based on usage.

I have to apologize in advance because this type of post seems awkward, out of place, and borderline inappropriate but I’m at my wits end here and desperately need advice from some pros. 

When I told you I felt I was being abused and all the yelling and name calling was inappropriate your response was 'Ok I'm done', followed by 'not kidding' in the middle of finishing JB's contracts.

Other than that, it's going to be a constant battle between you and the tenants on usage.

Or I could make it for what I believe is lot value, in which case, who cares what the repairs are (other than the fact I plan to do basic repairs for rental usage until the property appreciates for new build).  

Keep in mind that the seller is going to try to get out from the property for a reason, just ask a question and listen, if he's motivated enough they will reveal more than needed OR they will not have enough selling points which could be a bad thing. ie; vacancy rates (leads to knowledge about the area or housing issues the tenants had), water usage (potential plumbing issues), appliances held in the units (leads to how old the electrical is in the home) CHECK IF THE OUTLETS ARE GROUNDED !!! 

However we pay for maintenance and usage.
