Expense your electric, water, sewer, internet, shovel, water hose, etc. 

Is this just a cosmetic rehab or are are there problems you have to fix in electrical, plumbing, utilities, etc?

Electric company put leans on the owner. 

Also for the area I reside in you don't even need a vehicle, you can walk to everything anyone could possibly think of and when I do need to go further I have my own electric scooter..

The issues seem to be Baltimore Gas and Electric takes forever to do an inspection - 3 months sometimes. 

For example, my electrician walked through a house I'm closing on today a few days ago to see what was needed to get the electric up to code.

Also, if you list the property at the higher rate because you’re including SOME of the electric utilities (because you won’t be able to eliminate 100% of the bill.) you’re going to lose potential tenants that are filtering by rent and/or see similar properties for less, causing longer vacancies.

It is not my job, as an appraiser, to know what the proper egress, electrical codes, etc, are to constitute a bedroom, that's what permits are for and I am not going to make myself liable for YOUR benefit.Regarding advertising - It typically would need to be disclosed within the listing, probably in the private remarks section in the mls.

They came back to our requests stating they'd pay for electrical issues which is 2.6k and dismissed the rest saying that they have interest and that the appraisal came back higher (they did not get the appraisal from us so I'm guessing they're assuming).

Since it is going to be a rental, first concentrate on any items that need maintenance immediately that prevent it from being rented now (creating cash flow)(including all parts to be working, such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.).
