LLCs and Utility Payment

[Grace Donahue]

Hey guys,

My dad and I were wondering what we should do when it comes to LLC's and Utility payments. Should we have a one LLC to one property ratio or would it be better to have multiple properties under a few LLC's? Any suggestions?

Next ?, would it be ok to have the landlord the pay the utilities instead of the tenant sometimes?

Are either of these "toss of a coin" issues, or what in your opinion makes the most sense. We are looking in the Cleveland, Galion, and Mansfield cities of Ohio. Thanks.
