The Utility Bill Disaster: What We Learned as New Duplex Owners


Listen Later

Thinking about investing in a duplex or multifamily home? Wondering how to split utilities fairly between tenants (or future you)?

In this episode, we share the story of how our well-meaning, flat-rate utility plan went sideways — and what we wish we’d known before setting it up. If you're a first-time landlord, house hacker, or just curious about the nitty-gritty of shared utilities, this one’s for you.

Laugh with us (or at us), and walk away with clear takeaways for setting expectations, communicating with tenants, and protecting your own sanity and bottom line.
