@Matthew PlatonWould you be able to split the utility bill, and have the tenant pay for their unit?

Inflation, cost of utilities (water/sewer), maintenance, and market rental rates.

Been to both, did heavy diligence on both.

On this forum search screening,  deposits, utilities.

Zillow is a great tool to get your listings out there however, I would not utilize Zillow applications. 

With stucco siding, tile roofs, and desert landscaping, there’s no worry about issues like heavy rain, ice, or intense wear on lawns.

Landlord can require tenants to be responsible for separately metered utilities, so can avoid waste.Landlord can get annual small increases in rent.NegativesMost of us don’t treat something we get for free the same way we treat something we’ve worked hard to obtain.S8 applicants claim “broke” and don’t like to pay application feesSame goes for security depositsS8 tenants, in our experience, tend to cause more property damage than non-S8 tenants. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

If not, you can allocate a portion of your utilities to the other unit based on the square footage of each unit.

I would love to talk to you about financing options as we help many investors, beginner and experienced, with funding that utilize the BRRRR method.

Because the land already has all the utilities infra that it's needed water, sewer, electricity.
