Renovated in 2023, annual gross rents $144k + utilities.

Does anyone utilize high interest savings accounts for their cash flow.

Each persons ability to take advantage of opportunities and/or incentives will be unique.Overall you want the find the highest and best use of your cash that delivers the fastest return.If applicable to an owner occupant purchase, the best use of funds would be to accomplish getting down payment assistance, utilize a 203k or HomeStyle loan (to force the equity), and to house hack.

My basic underwriting making some standard assumptions on HOA expenses, 20% down, 7% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, utilities, supplies, and maintenance costs shows a loss of about $22k per year if you are self managing.

The ONLY exception is that a landlord may charge two months' rent if the tenant qualifies for utility assistance, the lease requires the tenant to pay utilities directly to the landlord, and the tenant and landlord agree in writing.

I can's imagine a situation where all 4 tenants have elected to hand wash their clothes and use the dryer (there is no utility sink in the laundry room).Can you think of any reasons why the dryer would be used that much more/washer used that much less?...

I would also contact the tax pros in the header and get their opinion and maybe utilize them for that reason. 

The utility company missed an appointment and no communication from them or action to even reschedule.

hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.
