When they go on sale, I post them here but I pick some up.Coffee makers (broken carafes) and waffle makers.

for one tenant it says that the landlord is responsible for utilities, and for the other tenant it says that the tenant is responsible for utilities.

What the gurus don't tell you is that they are comparing market rents to the GROSS amount of S8 rent on a voucher which INCLUDES LANDORD PAID UTILITIES!

Utilities will be among the first in for cleanup actions. 

Additionally, do you all generally use a smaller income criteria if the rent is inclusive of utilities? 

That's the reason there are so many fourplexes and so few fiveplexes or even sixplexes.From what I gather, post offices and utility companies rarely care much about the permitting/zoning issues, so it probably wouldn't have been hard to get those set up.

If the didn't do that then they have converted to LTR or MTR rentals at a steady monthly income and have the tenants take over the utilities which offsets the loss of more income.

I plan to put a $600 utility cap in the lease.

- Usually a 5 unit with a boiler means that all the units share the boiler heating system.Which specific utilities in which units are paid by tenants vs shared?

Does that include utility service to the house, a driveway, septic and well?
