Newbie First House Hack!

Essien Benjamin
Posted

Hey BP Community!

So I'm proud to say that I have purchased my first property! It's a 3 bed, 2 bath condo in Everett, WA. I plan on living in one bedroom and renting out the other two rooms. I'm super excited to start my real estate journey. But even after listening to all the podcasts and reading all the books, I'm realizing that there are still a lot of little details that I don't know. For instance, I'm planning on splitting utilities (gas, electricity, and internet) with my tenants, how should I have them pay this to me? Also, any online software that anybody would suggest for rent payments? I am thinking about using cozy.co. 

Any advice on this or advice on anything that you think would be helpful would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
