My concern is how to handle utility bills between two units without a disagreement.

@Alex Ng S8 cures the rent collection problem of dealing with Class C & D tenants, but not ALL problems.Many S8 tenants still have to pay a portion of their rent + utilities - yet don't.Damages: most people now know how to use Zoom.

They are responsible for the upkeep on the house and we are responsible for the land and underground utilities.

My plan is to utilize the 5% down payment available through conventional loans.I would essentially mega-commute for the first year or two, working about 10-day stretches and then having equal time off, using my PTO strategically to gain more time off.

I second a good side hustle and have spent some money utilizing a real estate photographer which is one way to get going and making good money with only about $700 worth of equipment.

Landlord pays for utilities.

You can also sometimes call utility companies and get relevant information.

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, keep utilizing the BP forums.

As of now thats not an issue for you, but if you plan on expanding your portfolio utilizing the LLC can open up more financing options for you down the road.
