An "agent" should be utilized as a go-between to get a sale negotiated, as well as all of the necessary paperwork once a deal is reached.

This can lower utility costs for tenants and increase the property’s attractiveness.

We utilize this for different industries as well but our main niche is real estate since we are investors.

Makes wonder about property taxes, utilities separation, and many other things.

Utilizing Facebook groups is a great idea.

Good evening everyone,how do I separate utilities when I have an ADU that is rented with a fixed utility price?

@Loren SouersIn Metro Detroit area, it's always finger-pointing between City, USPS and local utility company.Recommend getting info from all 3 IN WRITING for accountability:)

I would have tenants pay utilities  

once you actually identify a specific property, you need real numbers.in a duplex you may have two of everything (unless some utilities are shared) - two furnaces, two water heaters, two sets of appliances, lots of bathrooms. 

Hi Thomas, That is a common path that many investors take by utilizing a credit line or second mortgage to access capital to support down payment / closing requirements for the new purchase.
