Quote from @Pat Arneson:Usually, the city website has all the utility companies for the city that you should be contacting.

Many places only allow utilities in the owners name.

I hired a GC to manage the build out, but there has been no consensus on who is responsible for the utility payments (Water and Energy). 

Instead, can you just cover the utilities or go to the laundromat.

.  -- If the units are the same footprint, then why not just do 50/50 on utilities for each side and 100% when one is vacant.

Hello real estate arbitragers,How do you typically handle utilities in arbitrage deals?

Quote from @Michael Galace: I'm utilizing their service, been with this agency for 5 months now. 

Numbers:Purchase Price: $140,000Cash Invested: $42,000Income:Unit 1: $1075 + utilities. 

I think it would be a disservice to all of the consumers who utilize BiggerPockets to learn and network with professionals and service providers to not have this new information given to them.Bob Prisco (aka Bob Stevens) actually utilized a 2nd BiggerPockets profile from 2018 to 2020. 

If that's the case, you would charge rent + utilities + water or just lump it into one rent fee.One thing to keep in mind is that friends often bail on deals like this once you get it so you have to be prepared to have to figure it out if you get the house and he isn't interested.
