You don't want to get into a project that needs things like walls moved, adding and removing plumbing and electrical.  

Look up the regular pricing & you will be amazed.NEW GE Cafe push in $1975 electric range $623 (for an apartment we rehabbed). 

In running my own properties I have always wanted to track building usage information (oil, electric, sewer, water) in order to further optimize performance and save on utility costs.

This isn't that important up front, especially to the investor.With that being said, the camera can also be used to possibly see a water leak behind a wall (when the water is running down that wall), overloaded circuits in the service panel, loose electrical connections at the panel, possible roof leaks (when it's raining), issues with faulty appliances such as ranges, and more.

Who pays electric, gas, water/sewer?

All the electric and plumbing are to code and the 4th floor is completely renovated at 200k.Your right it does cost a lot to remodel kitchens and baths and it desperately needs a lift on each. there are It is a very sound place.the 4th floor rent is 1,050 it was last lived in 2 years ago.

Electricity is split.

Is there any other costs that the owner has to pay vs the tenants, such as water, electric, gas, etc.?

Rent is $950, includes water and electricity.
