Or lean into some sort of unfair advantage or relationship in one of those markets.Here's an anecdotal example...I own a rental in Sugar Land, TX (suburb of Houston) and even Sugar Land has a dozen little sub markets.

Obviously different sized units and units with more or less tenants will have different consumption amounts.Hope that helps!

We do not rent units with utilities included {students are not always careful with their energy consumption habits}, but we do provide a single payee option where the student tenants prepay their utilities through us each month along with their rent.  

The same is true for smaller multi-family (5+ units) and even larger properties.Depending upon regulation in your area and the manner in which the property has been plumbed, you have the option of sub-metering water and billing each tenant for their actual consumption.  

I'm mostly interested in the Sugar Land/southwest Houston area.  

Tax consumption, not income.

I kept my number very conservative so it wasn't sugar coated.

I live in the Sugar Land area and have finally decided to commit fully to making flipping houses a full time job.

This is not the first time I have dealt with cemesto it is a building material made of the core of sugar cane, concrete, and asbestos, I didn't catch what state your in but in Colorado it is a regulated material and requires an asbestos abatement company to remove or encapsulate it .

Don't sugar coat it, but be honest.
