Whatever the option is, you should discuss it, and pencil it out so that you know you have a pivot option as a safety net for your adventures in Real Estate!

Main Edge Properties, LLC in Mustang is one of my companies.

It builds wealth and most importantly cuts your expenses and gives you a front row seat at being a landlord.Was the best thing my wife and I ever did.  

Of course we can cut our losses and switch.

@Albert Gallucci this is the 64,000 question and I tend to agree with @Jaron Walling it's really not that cut and dry. 

It sounds like you may not be cut out to manage rentals in which case you should probably sell.

I've done this on one house in order to cut costs - since then, I've added a meter with the utility company but it's a good workaround for the short term. 

If they seem agreeable, then you can ask if they would prefer to cut the cost down the middle or would they prefer to purchase the supplies and you will assume the cost of labor to install it. 

We cut that cost in half by training and certifying people on our team and it created a better experience overall. 

All of that is pretty cut and dry.
