When to decide who pays for gas and electric..

[Ess Dee]

Ive been running some numbers on some multi family deals and single families also. I was wondering, when do you guys decide if you should pay for the gas and electric bills when trying to adjust for a higher cashflow? Is it soley based on the structure of the multi family (if each unit has its own meter or not) or are there other factors coming into play?

I obviously would rather have the tenants pay but, would that make my rental less attractive? Let me know what you guys think :)
