Utilities included or not included in rent?

[Joseph Gisler]

I am getting close to buying my first investment property which will most likely be a single-family in which I will live in one room and rent out the others. Has anyone had experience with bumping up the rent by lets say $70-100 than average rent prices and including utilities into rent? My thought process is by averaging the monthly utilities cost and adding it on top of what average rent is, I can eliminate a bill I have to charge my roommates but I am afraid people won't even look at my advertisement to realize utilities are included due to a much higher rent price. Thank you in advance for any thoughts and suggestions!
