I would still be a customer today except for the Florida Texting Law.

You have another customer to manage. 

If you have to go through the utilities companies for city hook ups or gas or electric?

Most tax professionals do not advise their clients to utilize this approach and it may raise concerns under IRS examination.

We work with investors everyday that utilize this strategy.

@Shea Spinelli If you PM me, I can send you a sample XL spreadsheet that you can customize that we use to apportion the expenses among the Tenants ..

It's 750 sqft and I'm trying to get a tenant to pay 2750 which will just barely cover all the monthly expenses and utilities.

The property could be more or less efficient with utilities.

Plus they are all busy doing occupant custom remodels.Flippers and landlords like me have alwyas been forced into being hands on, the crew chief, over handymen and a few licensed trades.   

Utilize the enemy method - like @Bradley Buxton said, take a look at your competition to see how yours compares and make adjustments accordingly
