Episode Synopsis

Does this sound familiar? Your water, sewer, and trash bills keep climbing, tenants have zero incentive to conserve, and your “all-in” rents make you less competitive in the market. What if you could reallocate master-metered utilities to residents, improve cash flow, and unlock six- and seven-figure forced appreciation—without adding hardware or massive CapEx?In this episode, you will be able to:Understand RUBS (ratio utility billing) and how to fairly allocate water/sewer/trash without installing submetersSee how $36,000 in annual utility reimbursements translated into ~$1M in added value via cap ratesUse “BRRRR 2.0”: replace heavy rehab with expense reduction to raise NOI, refinance, and repeatApply RUBS to small multis, duplex + ADU setups, and even HOAs to stabilize dues and encourage conservationLearn simple onboarding steps (letters, lease language, notices) and how to pass admin fees so the software is effectively freeAvoid common pitfalls of submetering (cost, failures, maintenance) and navigate regulation differences across marketsTiffany Mittal is a multifamily owner/operator turned proptech founder who launched Utility Ranger in 2020 after years growing utility-billing startups and solving her own portfolio’s rising expenses. Backed by the 10X Incubator, she built a “TurboTax-simple” RUBS platform serving thousands of mom-and-pop owners who’ve been overlooked by traditional providers—helping them put more cash in pocket and increase asset value through smarter utility billing.Resources from this episodeGet started with RUBS: utilityranger.comConnect with Tiffany: @TiffanyMittal on socialLearn about private lending & Pine’s mortgage funds: pinefinancialgroup.comHosted by Ausha.
