@Kwesi OwooYears back, I investigated this and decided against it because it seemed like a hassle, and also that there might be issues after the machines were customized.

And worst case, you can sub-meter through Guardian (or similar company) for a reasonable cost...water is still tied to the property owner, but use and billing are more accurate.If you want to investigate Columbus further, I would be glad to assist.

A well prepared seller may already have a jurisdictional review.Infrastructure would be the second thing I would investigate.  

Even if you don’t want to open an Oxford house per se, the model appears successful and would be worthwhile to investigate.

I have been investigating the best way to get the down payment for my second investment property.

If these questions can be answered reasonably, knowing that these are not negligent people, I would lean toward paying the bill as the landlord, and learning to change the language for the next lease term to cap utility expenses paid by the landlord.IF they noticed the water running down the street, but didn't think to investigate, then I would site the lease language like sampled above and charge them for a portion of the water bill...the overage portion.

I have not investigated the Solo 401K since I do not have self employment income.

Guests on the podcasts say they do daily journal entries and go back to see how they have changed and grown.Let us know what you put in your journal entries.I have zero creativity and typically tunnel vision so sadly the first time I hear of a way to do something that's the way I'm going to investigate getting it done.

I've also spoken to a private investigator and they weren't much help either. 

It's certainly worth investigating, though (note to self!)
