Furnishings are almost always on separate "personal property" sales agreement, often a whole house full of furnishings for $1.

So far, from what one architect/contractor told me, it may require building one unit at a time with separate permits.

Right now, it only has a storm door to the outside and an exterior door separating it from the rest of the house. 

I bought the furniture, appliances, decor, kitchen utensils, etc... from my friend as a separate deal, used it to airbnb without much effort, took great care of the property for the duration of my ownership.

Maybe it'll change with time but right now its hard for me to separate business and "being nice" so your view is very helpful!

Many older multi-family buildings don't have electric, gas & water all metered separately.

Most people would simply consider it easier to have a separate bank account for expenses and colleting rent. 

of) construction but that's a separate issue.

This separates those who are successful versus those who are not so successful. 

That's a lot of money to me.UTILITIES - are utilities separately metered at the property?
