If you do the power couple "10 in her name, 10 in his name" trick, that gets you up to 79.You are, of course, on the money with the rent thing.

Multiple tenants on one furnace are never happy and you do not want one tenant having the "power".Likelihood is you will end up getting burned on the utilities and the best way to avoid that is to put the utilities in the name of the user charged the higher percentage.

That gives you power.

Im using this post to test the waters on how powerful this medium is.

We are in a similar boat, so I'm really interested in hearing how this works out for you! 

I just know first hand of the power of holding for a very long time with my own properties and properties that I manage.

@Kartik Tri Great decision on the 1031 exchange. it's a powerful way to defer taxes and accelerate your wealth. 

We would like to invest as a group to increase our purchase power.  

Through this process you should gain a better understanding of your buying power and the associated costs with closing the transaction.Hope this helps.Ed 

I got burned once when I called the power company to verify that the new tenant had called to take responsibility for the meter, and was told  "yes, they did call".
