We are basically forced to continue paying for water that we are NOT utilizing if we take into account:-Water bills from nearby properties with similar characteristics are way lower-The amount of persons living in the property is two-The fact that our bills are issued prior to the actual consumption, and do not take into account factors such as weather (no need for watering the yard), time away from the property (vacation), etc.On a separate note, when we attempted to register our property on the waitlist to get a meter installation (program that is now stopped due to potential lead repercussions), the system declined our property claiming that it was not eligible, although we follow all parameters indicated – a non-metered, residential account for a single family home.We believe this is a completely unfair, abusive, and unreasonable situation, which might affect other many citizens who are stuck within the same conundrum.Any suggestions?

I currently work full time as a senior technical program manager for a very well known internet firm whose products you probably use every day.I became an accidental landlord back in 2008 when I transferred to Charleston, SC for a couple of years before relocating back to Atlanta, but I've been interested in real estate in general for a long time.

You want to be on both sides(buying into the assets and capable seller/transfer of equity) as the economy moves.Philosophically speaking and .....what makes excited about residential real estate in USA is not about residential itself but our ability as individual US citizen so we could get cheap or free money from goverment ( 3% mortgage rate is lower than 3% inflation rate) for 30 years  with the same fixed payment for thirty years, with leverage 1:4 to leverage 1:20 (using FHA) for an asset thats "almost always" appreciating double than inflation ( appreciating > 6% is equal to double).

“We are committed to helping families affected by the virus and we are instructing Servicers to work with borrowers who are unable to make their mortgage payments to ensure they are evaluated for a forbearance plan or other appropriate assistance,” added Kevin Palmer, senior vice president of Single-Family portfolio management at Freddie Mac.
