When the contractor went to make his final inspection of the turnover repairs (nothing major ~$200) he found the property had been broken into and the furnace, A/C, water heater and kitchen range stolen: about $6.5 K loss. 

("Water please," Id tell the barista.)--------5 years later...best decision ever made. 

Does anyone have a cost estimation on what it would take to split water and electric into individual meters on a 4 plex, for example?

Side question: If a listing states "Tenate Pays all utilities" does that mean Electricity, Water & Sewer, and Garbage? 

Hopefully great for RE investors that are not under water now.

We are also paying for trash, water and sewage.

BUT, the landlord wants to know about water leaks.

I still had to hustle when a door and a water heater had to be replaced or the plumbing backed up on Christmas day.

Capex is half of what I use. 10%.My capex includes roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span,hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

Do I need to set up electricity, water, and sewer before contacting them so they can show the house to future tenants ?
