For LTRs, the tenants will mostly pay the utilities. However for MTRs, we typically pay for utilities with the caveat of a monthly cap. It’s meant as a deterrent so the tenant is more conscious of the energy they use.

Additionally, if working with condos or townhomes, some utilities are included through the HOA fees.


 Thank you! Is there any specific reason you choose to have a cap instead of just having them pay it all? 


 The MTRs are furnished so we’re providing more of an all-inclusive service (similar to STRs).

STRs are saturated here and failed STRs are starting to saturate the MTR space.  With continued population growth and industry, LTRs are great for the long play but can be difficult to cash flow.

We've had good luck with co-signers but we're generally doing it for MTRs.  We find that mom and dad are making sure their kid is paying since they're on the hook too.  To me, it's a good sign that mom reached out directly so she isn't taken by surprise later.

Welcome Miciah! You could go FHA and live in the home for a year before renting it out.

@Amanda Nelson

Hi Amanda, it's true that an investor can assume a VA loan. It takes some patience and perseverance but with the right team, it does work. We do them here in Phoenix market.
