Multifamily Commercial Real Estate Value-Add Strategy:

Master-metered water is often the single largest uncontrollable operating expenditure for garden-style apartment communities. Passing water and sewer expenses back to residents via submetering or RUBS immediately boosts Net Operating Income (NOI). Because commercial multifamily properties are valued on a capitalization rate basis, every $1,000 saved in recurring water opex creates $16,666 in equity value at a 6.0% cap rate.
