All Utilities or No?
Would it be best to include all utilities and allow a tenant just to pay a flat fee that covers everything for a SFH?
Example: Mortage payment is $600 a month which is fixed rate which includes everything in one payment. If the Tenant Pays 850-900 a month. That includes Paying down The Mortage, Gas & Electric, maintenance cost, insurance, and Lawn work/snow removal. Would I make out In terms of a decent cash flow opportunity?

For a single family home, I would put all of those costs on the tenant. All utilities and yard maintenance along with snow removal.
