If I am able to split meters for gas and electricity and have tenants pay them, I will save $920 per month or $11,000 per year.

Multis you likely also have Water/Trash, Gas, Snow Removal, Landscaping, Pest Control, etc...

Has a nice college there ,oil,gas  jobs are around .Might want to see how to play on what type of housing needs the 2 sources of income like .

However as I’m new to this, 1 year in 3 properties thus far, and am self managing, I was curious if other landlords charge a standard rate for their time; for example if during move out you have to mow the lawn, and do so yourself rather than hire a company, do you keep a fee from the security deposit reflective of what your time is worth, the job itself typically pays, or only charge for materials/parts/gas?

We've boiled it down to either full-on Rental or sell-it outright.The market the house is located in is Buffalo NY, so I need to do some research on the location and pricing to validate if the numbers work or not...

The electric company and gas company where my properties are located offer a "Landlord Reversion Policy."

First thing I did was map it and that's when I realized that the home sits behind a gas station and walking out the front door of the property looking about 45 degrees to the left is the back of a not so beautiful building.

Tell them gas And upkeep for your Lamborghini isn’t cheap these days so he must pay more to cover the extra costs of maintaining it .

Things us landlords should have already like smoke detectors, safe egress, & no gas leaks. 

Is there a way to validate if the renters are "good" - like paying every month?
