If you are anything like me, the answer is "no."

If it's suburban, then the community room would be a good alternative to making it an amenity that brings in some cash to offset its expenses.  

Since the Utility Bill will change each month, each tenant's portion will also change each month....Easy Example: Say we manage a 2 family with 6 tenants/residents in total: 4 people living upstairs in Unit 2,  and 2 people living downstairs in Unit 1:  If January's water bill for the whole building is $100, then February's Rent for Top Floor Unit 2 would have an extra $100 x 4/6th (or 2/3 rds) added on = $66.66February's Rent for Bottom Floor Unit 1 would have an extra $100 x 2/6th (or 1/3 rds) added on = $33.33I always send each Tenant a copy of the entire building's Water bill, plus a cover page with a detailed explanation of the billing-breakdown.Make sense?

We will post in the BP forums, but it normally is every second Wednesday of the month.

I try to teach my kids the importance of investing and show them real life scenarios any chance I can.
