Utilities: Under my name or PM while vacant?
Hi BP family,
I just acquired my first rental property and the utilities need to be under my name or the PM company. However, the PM company charges at 10% markup fee while paying these utilities during vacancy. I will have this switched when the property becomes occupied.
Question:
Do I take the small 10% hit considering the bills will be very little considering the property is vacant or just put it under my name?
Any advice is welcome!
Thank You
