Love the insight @AJ Wong.

Just curious, how do you automate tracking expenses?  

I’d love to hear your thoughts, tips, or even warnings.

Any tips or advice would be super helpful! 

Dave solo discussing the opinions in other articles is decent.  

Or just strangers off the street you met at a REI group?

@Garry LawrenceDevin Moreno has a bunch of videos on rent-by-the-room strategy in Baltimore on hisYoutube channel.

My suggestion would be to cap your utilities at a certain amount and have Tenants pay anything over that amount.That will help you manage your expenses, and also allow Tenants to gage their usage each month, and make adjustments if they don't want to go over the allotted amount.As far as collection, provide the bill showing any overages and just have them pay for it along with their rent. 

Any tips or advice for getting started?
