Water, Sewer, & Trash in Pottstown PA

[Steve Uhlig]

Hello Investors, 

I am hunting for my first deal in the suburbs West of Philadelphia.  

My question pertains to water, sewer, and trash in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  Specifically relating to 2-4 unit multi-family buildings, is it conventional practice for the owner to simply pay for water, sewer, and trash or is it conventional practice to bill these expenses back to tenants?  I am getting conflicting information from people and am looking to set the record straight on this topic.  

Any insight would be helpful.

I would recommend looking through Craigslist and Zillow/Trulia/HotPad for small-multi rentals and see what is the common theme throughout the listings. When I was deciding on whether to bill back water/sewer for my first rental, that tactic really helped me get an idea of what the norm was in my area.
