To that effect, I'm thinking of offering to cover half of the excess usage ($500 for Jan/Feb - $100 Normal Usage = $400 split in 2).

Just depends on what your comfort level and willing to dive in the deep end.If your open to higher price range I would tell you to try and stay in the multifamily since it helps offer more rents per month under one mortgage, tax bill and insurance policy.

Fully under AC, clean rooms for advanced manufacturing, excellent building in every sense of the word, from a tenant perspective. 

My goal is that in 6 months I have legit offers on the table for rentals or other real estate ventures that allow me to move away from education.  

My 22 year old relative is putting in an offer on a condo. 

I keep track of what I spend on materials pretty close, but I use excel.

There may be some excellent opportunities there. 

Not sure if anyone is aware of Baltimore, MD offering vacant properties for a $1, however needing $90,000 minimum for rehabbing. 

I’ve made 2 offers below asking and she’s willing to take asking, with some wiggle room for the occupancy. 

This is a very creative strategy that has worked for me: If nothing works, offer this!!!!
