Would have been $40 per on a month to month payment per county without discount.

Hi everyone - I listened to a great podcast and the guy being interviewed was talking about how he will make offers on portfolio deals at a discounted price and then get the seller to indicate the value of each one, subtracting the price from the total portfolio price, until he gets down to a (low) price for the one property he really wanted.   

The last four buildings we purchased were all discounted because the owners couldn't stand dealing with their tenants.I love my tenants. 

The comps on the low end are in the mid to upper $300k range but they are 1000sq ft smaller, less a bathroom or two.

Meaning, wherever you buy, no matter the rating, you are primarily focused on purchasing the property at a good discount.

The house is in decent shape, bathrooms need the most repairs. 

Certainly discount the days not used, anything else a best practice?  

I have a small team who does my carpentry, tile floors and I do the bathrooms and kitchens. 

Sign up for their pro card and get an additional discount. 

What I think I'm going to is attach this addendum I found online that specifies I'll be sub-metering the two units using option (b) formula based allocation:"If a Utility Bill is sent, each Utility Bill shall be based on either (a) an estimated or actual reading of the sub meter for Resident’s Unit, OR (b) the previous month’s actual bills for the Utilities for the Property allocated to Resident pursuant to an allocation formula based, in whole or in part, upon at least one or more of the following components: the number of Units at the Property, the number of occupied Units at the Property, the square footage of the Unit, the number of occupants in the Unit, and the number of bathrooms in the Unit.
