Hello, Happy Tuesday! Here is the situation I currently find myself in!!

My Tenants are excellent meaning they pay everything on time and have treated my rental like their own. I got a call from them 2 weeks ago claiming that their water bill came in double what previous months have been. For reference its about $500 just due to water. I have done a thorough walkthrough of my property and have detected no leaks as of now, but we have not brought out a plumber yet! My tenants have contacted City of Austin to reread the meter and ensure that there are no leaks on their end. We just heard that there was no leak detected on their end and meter reading was accurate. Now, the city is threatening to turn off their utilities because they are late on the $500 water bill.

In this situation, How would you handle this as a Landlord? Is it worth it being added to the utility bill as the owner of the home so that I can call and talk with Austin Water (dont know if that's possible)? But I also dont want to be liable for unpaid bills as well. Do you think that a plumber needs to come out to ensure that there are no leaks? Any recommendations would be very helpful!! Thanks

Hey, Is this meetup still happening? Jordan Moorhead

Bummer, Wish I saw this earlier. Can I get an email when the next meet up is?

This is how I got my start to REI and it has worked great for me. Highly recommend House Hacking!

I currently live in Georgetown and I have seen some great growth here. Let me know if you have any specific questions

@Devin Dang I will do my best! On my calendar, but I’ll keep you updated!

Hi Cameron, I currently have a LTR in East Austin and have seen pretty good cash flow from it. But I house hacked that property for a few years before I moved on to another property North of Austin. Let me know if you have any questions
