    Tiffany Mittal – Shift Utilities, Boost NOI, and Force Appreciation

    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 submeters See how $36,000 in annual utility reimbursements translated into ~$1M in added value via cap rates Use “BRRRR 2.0”: replace heavy rehab with expense reduction to raise NOI, refinance, and repeat Apply RUBS to small multis, duplex + ADU setups, and even HOAs to stabilize dues and encourage conservation Learn simple onboarding steps (letters, lease language, notices) and how to pass admin fees so the software is effectively free Avoid common pitfalls of submetering (cost, failures, maintenance) and navigate regulation differences across markets Tiffany 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.

    Ever wonder why some business owners seem to stay fired up while others burn out chasing “easy money”? Here’s the twist: it’s not about hustling harder or finding the perfect market trend.

He’s also a dedicated real estate investor with 34 apartment units under his belt, using real estate as both an exciting venture and a way to fund the lifestyle he designed for himself. Jason’s all about helping others set massive goals and build businesses that actually support the life they want, not just their bank accounts.

    Tiffany Mittal – Shift Utilities, Boost NOI, and Force Appreciation

    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 submeters See how $36,000 in annual utility reimbursements translated into ~$1M in added value via cap rates Use “BRRRR 2.0”: replace heavy rehab with expense reduction to raise NOI, refinance, and repeat Apply RUBS to small multis, duplex + ADU setups, and even HOAs to stabilize dues and encourage conservation Learn simple onboarding steps (letters, lease language, notices) and how to pass admin fees so the software is effectively free Avoid common pitfalls of submetering (cost, failures, maintenance) and navigate regulation differences across markets Tiffany 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.

He’s also a dedicated real estate investor with 34 apartment units under his belt, using real estate as both an exciting venture and a way to fund the lifestyle he designed for himself.
