@Seth MyersHi SethHere are some questions I was just asking an owner who had listed a multi unit:Can you breakout the expenses that you pay on an annual basis : Insurance - carrier and value of building Utilities - electric, water and sewer, gas Maintenance for the last year Lawn/snow removal For each unit, can you give me a breakdown by unit - bedrooms and sq ft and lease for each tenant - rent and month/year on current lease.

BUT, after explaining the situation, he was amicable and agreed to a $50 fee to cover his gas/time, and obviously wouldn't be releasing any paperwork. 

Thanks for the suggestion.Kellan:The electric and gas utilities will typically tell you the average billing for a unit (or all units in a building) as it is not personally identifiable.  

When I build a car wash or a gas station, we go to 3 or 4 large GC firms, bid a job from architectural blueprints, get a NTE, etc.How do you go about finding contractors to work with. 

Freelancing paid for gas, but eventually I found a lead for a marketing gig in Denver!

I'm from NY but heating costs (gas) are similar throughout US, more or less. 

People moving closer to cities so they don't have to pay for their commute/gas?

One gas 4 years and one has 6 years.

Such as; water, electric, gas, internet, cable, etc.
