@Harvey Levin The electric is metered individually, but gas and water are shared.

Typically water and sewer are left out all together.

Just some questions and thoughts...Obviously with cash flow as your goal, you’ll want to make sure you can get more, and yet I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water just yet!

I’m very very tempted to do so and my contractor and I have been trying to see if it would be the right time to do so but I’m like the kid near the pool side wanting and not wanting to jump in the water.

There was a time (the last time) where under water 2nds traded for 5 cents.
