Electric is paid by tenants, water/garbage by the owner. 

How much is garbage in Cleveland?

I have also deleted the garbage disposal in the new ones.  

We do pay for garbage pickup (absolutely a necessity in KI Sawyer) and water (because the buildings we have are not metered separately).

@King Mmuwe some of the easy, low hanging items would be garbage contracts and insurance policies.

Health department inspectors found that the property was overgrown with weeds and there are rodents inside the property, including garbage in the rear yard.

I've spent thousands in the past, most of which was garbage.  

The owner of the building pays for garbage and water.

There is a Triplex in California that I'm looking at, and I was hoping that I could get some opinions on this property and whether I'm actually doing this right or not.Unit 1 Rent $1100Unit 2 Rent $855Unit 3 Rent $850Gross Rent $2805/monthExpenses   CapEx 10% = $280.5   Vacancy 5% = $140.25   Repair 5% = $140.25   Water & Sewer = $80   Property Taxes = $389   Insurance = $100   Garbage = $21   Landscaping = $50   Property Manager 10% = $280.5Total Operating Expense = $1481.5Principal and Interest = $1292 with 25% downTotal Expenses = $2773.5Down Payment 25% = $86,250Closing Cost = $10,600Repairs = $2000Cash Invested = $98,850Cash Flow = $2805 - $2773.5 = $31.5Cash on Cash Return = ($31.5*12)/$98,850 *100 = 0.38%The only expenses that I'm certain of is the gross rent because the triplex is fully occupied and the principal and interest of $1292, which a lender quoted me.

My experience was the tenants who were afraid they'd have to move were obviously sabotaging showings, leaving toilets unflushed, food in the sink, garbage can overflowing, etc., although for all I know, they really live like that and that's the reason the owner wants to sell in the first place.
