I had thought about this but it's really difficult to calculate a B/E because I don't know how much I can raise the rent to account for the utilities.

The reality is it takes a SPECIFIC type of personality to do property management effectively.Sadly a huge majority of managers are not good at what they do and want the residual paycheck.Other than a tiny fee and a big headache they get no benefit of depreciation,cash flow,principal pay down,and appreciation (hopefully) of the property.I can tell you flat out I am an investor and a commercial broker and I am all about closing sales.Never will I do property management.I love the art of the deal closing sales too much.It is really hard to find a property manager worth their weight in gold.If they do a fantastic job what you pay them shouldn't matter.Plenty of cheap but crappy managers out there.Expensive ones too that are crappy as well.If I found someone great I wouldn't mind paying them a premium.

Also, is the supplemental book you refer to the 400-page E-book: Principles of Real Estate Practice ?

When Joe Donnelly initially voted no on Healthcare, I sent him an e-mail praising his decision and encouraging him to stay on course for his constituents and for small business.

It is tough to explain 4 years of experience in one e-mail!

After going back and forth for a couple weeks over e-mail the issue was finally resolved.
