House Hacking Newbie.

[Account Closed]

Hello! This is my first post here on the forums. I live in Fairfield County Connecticut and i’m looking to house hack my first property!  I am currently in the learning and saving part of my house hacking journey. I had a question that hopefully some of you can help me with! 

1.  When it comes to utilities, let’s say I put on the tenant to pay. Am I responsible for paying my own? (internet,garbage, water etc.) and if so, do I account that in my personal expenses when analyzing properties? 

Thanks in advance!

If you are house hacking a 2-4 unit place then you would have your units utilities in your name(unless the units weren't separately metered). On a property you are interested you can ask the owner(or have your agent ask the listing agent) what they currently pay. No matter where you live you will pay your own utilities so that is a personal expense
