Utilities Charge Back or RUBS in North Willamette Valley, OR

Hi All,

I'm looking at small multi-family properties in the N. Willamette Valley (McMinnville, Newberg etc...)  I'm not currently in the market there but I grew up there and still have family living there.  I was just wondering if it's common to use RUBS or have a utility charge back in the older properties that cannot be sub-metered cost effectively.  Thanks for the input folks.

Cheers,

Mark
