This seems like a waste of my and my staff's time, Gas at the time of writing this is crazy high.

Lease ends May 2023)I got an accepted offer at $158k but with renovation and everything else it brings the house to $195k (Reno, sellers credit, loan fees, etc…)My monthly payment is about $1760 without including water and gas.

It seems like gas prices are settling, and I wonder if supply chain issues are slowly getting resolved, the jobs market is starting to cool off a little bit, and I think real estate prices (but not necessarily rents) will start flattening out a bit.

They would not include the gas checks I get from work every month even though I can prove I've been getting them every month for five years.

Oil and gas partnerships - a little diversification into commodities can offer up to a 92% deductionI'm new into real estate investing. 

X usage for 3 cents, Y usage for 9 cents, Z usage for 90 cents kind of thing.Because if it is, a few smaller changes might eat a big part of the bill percentage wise.In Nevada I've found the heat resistant solar tint to make a noticeable difference (on good double pane windows).I didn't cost it out, but the A/C ran less and the was noticeably cooler without the UV load hitting the  carpet and furniture (service life they say is 10 years estimated).Maybe swap that hot tub over to propane or Nat Gas (but some of these can be loud).Are you paying commercial rates, should you be paying commercial rates, is there a difference where you are at (???)

The one comment I do make is when people talk about US getting off of the gold standard, while yes its a fiat currency its backed by a country that owns quite a bit of land, and is sitting on a nice oil and natural gas reserve as well as it has hundreds of millions of tax payers. 

@Garrett Whitlock Typically tenants are responsible for gas and electric.

I am only looking to power my common area, which would include a small laundry room (gas dryer), some lighting, and a security camera system.
