@Tristian Streeter based on your email you are not dealing with an entity that has the power to say yes to your offer to purchase.

Yeah, I have the power shut off whenever we're not using it.

These are critters where boat slips or racks in a boat storage facility have been condominiumized with tax deeds.  

@Jennifer Annen I believe in occupancy, which means if you have a good tenant taking care of the property and paying the rent on time, don't rock the boat that much.

What part do you need help with: finding properties, funding sources, rehab techniques, finding power team members, finding buyers, contracts and paperwork?...... 

However at the end of the day I think any reasonable person would see that Chloe Eudaly is clearly a self-important, economic ignoramus, who is a power hungry SJW on a mission to impose as much socialist regulation as she possibly can. 

To calculate utility bills per square footage seems like a good estimate, but you can have the tenant that is efficient and likes to save power, while the other tenant blasts AC with the windows open and always has the lights/TV on.

Powers of attorney are great to have but may not be effective.  

they do a lot of submetering for water, power, and gas

I forgot to mention, the reason conversions are pricey is that often, you also have to change the ducts and more than likely buy a new furnace as well to handle the extra power from refrigerated air systems.
