I believe it will cashflow because so many Boca Chica Starship engineers rent from hotels and haven't bought any properties.

Even if submetered you'll see most active rentals only charge electric and gas if you take a look at your competition.

The units have heat pumps and the tenant pays electric which makes my cash flow great and I have no maintenance calls.

For reference I am working on a 3 family full rehab, plumbing, electrical and light framing of closets and doors. 

@Matthew Paul I thought of doing the whole unit electric.

It's not like electricity where the temperature and the season will cause it to rise and fall at different intervals.

FYI, the house has a new roof, electrical, plumbing and furnace.

A lot of houses in San Antonio are old houses that were split into several "units".I have some houses that are common water, common gas, but never common electricity.   

The roofs are in OK shape as are the electrical panels, but getting insurance on older apartment buildings is a nightmare. 

The tenants have separate utilities (meters, heating units) and pay for the heat and electric to their units.The price is $382,000Expenses:Insurance:  $1,000Water/sewer:  $1275Electric:  $658Trash removal:  $900Landscaping/snow removal:  $1450 (My husband and son-in-law are landscapers/plowers (and very talented general handymen), so this amount will not be close to this)Real estate taxes:  $3847Vacancy rate:  8.3%Maintenance and repairs:  $1200 Advertising:  $150Administrative:  $15020% down payment:  $76,400 with 5% interest rate - $305, 400 mortgage amount - mortgage payment $1641Rents are:  3BR - $1325; 2BR - $1050 and 1BR - $975.
