Duplex with Utilities included in Rent

[Mike K.]

I'm looking at a older 2 story duplex with a unit on each level.  Property is priced right and there is a positive cash flow with an estimated $300/mo utility cost.  My concern is there are window AC units which could result in much higher electric bills in the summer.  Would you consider a rental duplex that doesn't have split utilities?  If so how much of a price discount would it take to account for the utility costs?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@Mike K.
This is pretty uncommon in Columbus. Usually, the electric and gas are sub-metered and are always paid by the tenants as well as water and sewer if it's sub-metered. Pretty uncommon to see electric and gas not sub-metered in a duplex. Get a quote to sub-meter them.
