Fortunately, we were able to creatively utilize a “work around”.  

He missed the target by nearly a month and we ended up paying holding costs, HOA, Utilities etc for an extra 6 months until finally selling in the spring for a reduced price.

I have a potential tenant who feels utilities should be included.

For example, I’m doing three side by side duplexes and it’s costing me $135 psf, but I had to spend an extra $10k per foundation because of bad soil, and the smaller the property the higher the cost psfI’m working on a 28 unit with elevator, demo required, green roof, and it’ll cost me around the same psf as the duplexes.I’m doing three side by side triplexes which are full renovations, basement digout, all new facades, and that’s costing me about $106 psf for construction Non of these numbers include architecture, geotech, MEPS, environmental, utility plan, or finance costs

On that campground, we have a conditional use permit (CUP) and have been approved by San Bernardino County by land use services to modify the prexissiting CUP with some additional units, dry to wet campground, pool, gazebos, utility building, etc. it’s a big project.

I paid that same day a manual payment through their portal system 1,028.11 (915.00 rent, 15 Utilities Setup, 30 Valet Trash, 5 pet control, 5 Packages, 25 monthly deposit, and 31.61 Pro-rated rent)  Click Pay... 

Tenants should always pay for their own utilities, whenever possible.

I currently have two tenants in a unit who pay separate utilities and rent under the same lease.

Is it legal in Oneida County in Upstate NY to charge tenants a flat rate for utilities?

The LTC/LTV is often very similar to the loans you likely utilized for flips but most lenders funding flip loans  don’t factor debt coverage ratio because the intent is to sell, not rent the home.
