As landlords, we are not allowed to charge for utilities, so I basically make them write the check out to the utility company, consolidate the checks and send it out. 

I consolidated into an area but am thinking of branching out a bit.

I went to A&M Consolidated High School and Texas A&M University class of '03. 

You would likely get help there.I would consider 2 things:(1)debt consolidation with my current home equity and or refinancing whatever debt I can - which could free up some cashflow. (2)credit repair services; these companies tend to assure everything on my credit repor should be there and is reporting accurately.Reg

@Chris Sukala It's really inefficient to keep those old 401ks spread out - at the very least, you should consolidate them into a single IRA, whether it's self-directed or not.FWIW, When I looked at it, the annual fees for the SD IRA started at about $400/year and went up from there.

I would love to consolidate everything to one place.

I used to have 13 companies and I consolidated alot of it.

Part of my long range plan is to consolidate into 1 to 2 areas.

plus the new Bio corridor and expansion/consolidation of the HSC their are quite a few drivers.

But consolidating that I do want to go in that direction (large multi family).
