I have not because I don't usually have internet on site, but now I have an apartment building to manage, and potentially the scale makes it make sense to have internet for such a large building for locks/exterior cameras/monitoring, and with cell phone companies now providing internet, internet may be cheaper.   

I see many people on the internet that claim they do this.

The HOA fee is not great at roughly $430/month, but it covers high speed internet, trash removal, water/sewer, and insurance for the building. 

This is why master-metered heat is one of the biggest margin killers in small multifamily.Short-term mitigation options:• Install lockboxes or programmable thermostats with limited ranges (still compliant with local code)• Improve insulation, weather stripping, and seal air leaks• Service and balance the heating system to make sure it’s not over-firingThese help, but they won’t fully solve it.Real fix (long term):• Sub-meter heat if feasible, or• Convert to individual heating systems, or• Underwrite higher rents that assume landlord-paid heat as a permanent expenseMany Chicago investors simply bake this into rent and accept lower margins, or they eventually reposition the building when leases roll.Do not try to change rules mid-lease.Any change to utilities or control needs to happen at renewal and be documented properly, or you risk violations.Blunt truth:If you’re paying the heat, tenants will use it.

Compared to a $300 HOA, that’s an extra $250 per month in costs.Now compare that to the mortgage payment difference on a $400,000 property with 25% down and a 30-year loan:3.99% interest: about $1,430/month6.25% interest: about $1,847/monthDifference: $416/monthThat lower mortgage payment is largely offset by:Higher property taxes: $150/monthHigher HOA fees: $250/monthYou also mentioned that the HOA covers water, sewer, trash, internet, and landscaping.

up to you what you decide though, of course - i am just a random person on the Internet =)starting with your own primary and trying to house hack in some way is the best way to get started, period.  

The way you title your videos across the internet will also help your company show up in search engines for high-intent keywords.  

Equally as important, I've found investors who prioritize operational discipline free up more time and mental bandwidth to focus on tasks that generate new business.So instead of forcing acquisitions because an internet or social media personality is telling you you're falling behind consider investing into the business you already have.

Clear house rules matterSpell out shared-space rules very clearly:– Quiet hours– Guests– Parking– Cleaning expectations– Utilities and internet– Damage responsibility in common areasAmbiguity in shared housing causes more issues than rent.5.
