Estimate Utility Costs (water, sewer, garbage, etc) in KC?

[Nina Granberry]

I am currently practicing deal analysis, using the rental property calculator tool. It takes me a while to analyze a deal and even then, I am not 100% confident that my numbers are right each time.

I'm trying to make my numbers as accurate as possible.

Where do you all search for estimating the costs of the following:

+water and sewer

+garbage

+gas and electric

I have been listening to many podcasts and webinars and I know the answer could be as easy as googling it, but I would like to know what other, experienced investors do to estimate these costs when analyzing a deal. Where do I look for these costs?

I am analyzing multifamily deals in Kansas City, MO.

Thanks!

 Are you talking KCMO? If so, water is about $50 a unit and it includes sewer. Trash if in KCMO is included. Electrical is about $100 a month for a 2 bedroom. Gas varies. However in KC all of the above can be charged to the tenant. If you have no vacancy you have none of the above costs. Hope that helps.
