It does depend on your goals, time, energy you have to put into your investments.

Due to high rate of inflation, we are adding 3% to the total.Due to rising energy prices, we are adding 3% to the total. in order to provide our workers health insurance we are adding 5% to the total. 

There are usually a vocal minority that has the time and energy to be on the board and can push anti-investor NIMBY policies. 

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

Look for a market that works for your time, money, energy that moves you closer to your goal of why you are investing in real estate. 

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

So just had to bite the bullet and move on. 

The answers are to price in a higher utility cost into the rent, or, bite the bullet and separate the meters.
