You turn utilities over to tenant responsibility - it’s worth more.the more you can increase the spread between your income and expenses the more the property is worth and the greater chance for a favorable refi.

Just starting to acclimate myself with the various PRO membership offerings and have been utilizing the rental property calculator.

-You need to verify if utilities are actually split.

Best to be on the safe side and include 2-5%.Do you have to pay the utilities or are the tenants?

What else helps cash flow is if the triplex units are individually metered for utilities.

Salary: $67k/annual but you can't escape OT, and I was at $90k last yearI was left an estate, sold it, invested it conservatively - I utilize gains to help an aging family.

I use the RUBS (ratio utility billing system) and my LLC pays the water bill.

I suspect it must be when I try to estimate the electricity , water and sewage , HOA and to mention a few, I turn to google first and if i don't find any information I just guesstimate a worst case scenario - I know, not the best of tactics and I am usually working on my active job during the day otherwise I'll call the utilities company.

hey @Ryan Alexander If you are doing a BRRRR people basically break down the formula for purchase price to be: (After Repair Value*0.75) - Reno Costs - Holding Costs (loan/taxes/utilities) = Max Purchase Price

I wanted to see if I get a good deal on both, how do I connect the converted shipping container to the utilities?
