What is the best way to charge your tenants for utilities if there's only one meter?

You didn't specify so I will assume you're not planning to charge rent while your children use the property. 

As far as appreciation goes, depends on where you buy and what happens in the future, but LA would be a safer bet for meIf you find a place in LA that fits your budget, you love it, and the math works, go get it. maybe you'll find a SFH with an ADU - or opportunity to add one.

Also verify with the HOA as to who is in charge of the wall. 

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

No charge.

May 9, please do not park in lot between 1-3pm; Any additional trip charges from gravel company will be charged to tenants responsible if cars are left in the lots.

For instance, a lender may have a guaranteed-interest requirement (typically 3 months) instead of charging a percentage based on the remaining loan balance at the time of payoff.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

i looked into it once before, but found that the PM's charged too much.
