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

Thank you @Steven May ! That is very helpful information. I am currently working on a deal in Belton, MO where all of the utilities are charged to the tenants. I hope that future multifamily properties I find in KCMO work out the same way. Thanks again!

@Alex Olson That definitely helps. Thank you. And yes, KCMO. I would leave those values blank then, because I would make sure that all those utilities were charged to the tenants.

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!

@Daniel Dietz when you go to your Dashboard, there is a tab for "My Goals". That is where you can set your daily habits and 90-day goals. I took some screenshots for you below.

I became a Pro Member only two and half weeks ago. I made the commitment immediately after joining a webinar hosted by Brandon Turner (How a Newbie Can Start Building Wealth Through Real Estate). It has been one of the best decisions I have made in a while.

As a Pro Member, I am able to set daily habits and set 90-Day Goals. My current daily habits are:

1. Analyze a deal using the calculator tools

2. Read something REI (article, forum, book)

3. Listen to a BP podcast/webinar/audiobook

4. Read and/or respond to a forum post

My first 90-Day Goal was to purchase my first investment property.

About a week ago I signed a contract on my first deal!

The power of setting intentions is real and setting small simple goals (habits) help to structure the path to achieving much bigger goals. I'm living proof. Just a few weeks ago I was just a math teacher working remotely for the rest of the school year. Now, I can also proudly (and finally) call myself an investor.

Are any of you using the Daily Habits Tracker? If so, what are some habits you set for yourself?

Thank you for sharing.

@Michael Wagner  @Account Closed can you speak more to why it is the case that you invest in self storage the way that you do?

If I had 500k in cash, I would build my OOS portfolio, investing in more buy and hold multifamily properties, in flipping SFH properties. Save some for cash reserves. I would find partners and do larger deals.

@ALYSSA Feliciano

DOM stands for days on the market. The longer a listing stays active, that’s an indication of how hot the market is in that area.
