Who pays water/sewer? 

I’m using a water damage restoration company that came recommended to me by my home inspection company, and they have 4.5 stars on HomeAdvisor.

Supposedly the next items for him were to be a new water heater in about a year or two, and some carpet...ill verify tomorrow.So help me understand “spread,” and what I should anticipate?

The water is.

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

Does anyone know if installing separate water meters is a good thing to do in a multi family home?

I put out marketing packages based on actual numbers because all experienced investors will do their own underwriting and make offers based on real numbers but this is hardly the norm.It would behoove you to look at IREM.org as they have financial information from local property managers in every major market and they'll give you the real numbers when it comes to the cost of repairs, water & sewer, heat, electrical, payroll and other information.Once you have this, you should start practicing underwriting deals with your own spreadsheet or one like RealData so you can learn what a deal will actually make versus what BS brokers put out to market.

pumping a tank should always be on the shoulders of landlord / property management and priced in with the cost of rent also you should make a note that tenants are NOT to use bleach and or antibacterial soaps as these products will kill the bacteria in the tank and cause a lot of problems down the road also it is a good idea to add  a bacteria of some sort to keep it working properly you can buy the over the counter stuff or just add some yeast mixed with water once a year or so I use bakers yeast every three to four years  

I'm so tired of spending so much time installing regular 10mm laminate flooring and the seeing water damage or tenant chips in this stuff.  

If that's the case then you have $2K for insurance, break/fix, utilities (almost certainly water), landscaping, etc.
