@Shmou N.ShmouYou can collect Rent and all other fees; Utilities, parking, or any other fee needed.We don't currently have a notification of the deposit but I will add it to our develoemt roadmap and you will see it in an update.

Also, be sure to check with the section 8 agency managing the tenants - sometimes if you pass on an additional cost like that they will no longer be eligible to live there if the rent and utilities exceed what they were approved for.

For example, an algorithm can't compare a property that charges a flat fee for utilities vs one that charges based on use. 

My advice on sub to is as follows1- COMPLETELY understand the process, implications, liabilities, and possible outcomes before engaging or attempting to engage in a sub to transaction2- Complete disclosure going so far as making sure the other part understands the transaction and possible consequences3- Utilization of an attorney experienced in subject to transactions for setup in such a way that provides some protections in case of default or in case the note is called4- Have a backup plan in case the note is called5 - only use for property that has a TRUE positive cash flow unless the buyer has substantial reserves I myself have purchased 8 properties subject to, but 5 of those were commercial properties which often have notes where a subject to is allowable.  

Plus the 20%-30% more in gross revenue just goes towards utilities, furniture, etc.

On utilities, I bought a foreclosure in NJ and found out it was not attached to Town sewer and I actually had to extend the main line up to my property then put the lateral in and abandon an old cesspool.  

I doubt including utility fees in in the PMA.

I got into RE investing utilizing the same strategy as you're exploring.

@Michael Beirne Lower priced markets such as Baltimore are very difficult to operate in utilizing entirely 3rd party support.

Utilize financial analysis and market research to make informed investment decisions.
