Underwriting Utilities for Rent by the Bedroom

[Jabbar Adesada]

Hello everyone? I am trying to figure out a good way to account for utilities in my SFH rent by the bedroom house hack. I know other house hackers, student rentals, and transient room landlords deal with this? What is a good way to deal with utilities? Should I the landlord pay for it and charge a premium in the rents? Should utilities be split amongst residents? Does rent plus a utility fee work better? It's going to be 5 other residents in this SFH 3 with their own private bathroom + me. I will be gone for a lot of the year on various exercises and possibly deployments so the main usage will be on them. What ideas do you guys have or have used that work well?
