Unless.....there was an all inclusive deed of trust of other mortgage doc executed between the seller and the buyer.

Today is the last day for acceptance and she is confident we will have it signed and ready to go.The home is split into 3 parts, 2/1 main section, 1/1 m-in-l suite which is rented at $650 all inclusive, and a 1/1-no kitchen converted garage (landlord used when he visited) that is non-conforming because the landlord never got a permit, but he will try to get a retroactive permit and pay the penalties, or remove the changes...He is also a Canadian and we will have to deal with that tax issue where they hold 10% of the sale or something, no worries there...Great house, great neighborhood, great price, I'm gonna be happy if it all goes through.The other house where my agent wouldn't work with me because we wouldn't give him 2 proofs of ID and a utility bill was foreclosed, and I see that many foreclosed houses do actually sell close to ask price.

These are all standard inclusions in my lease, and it clearly states all of them and the consequences for breaking the rules. 

That being the case, it doesn't mean that it won't work for you.For example: If you were currently paying $2000 per month in rent and you went to purchase a $450,000 duplex that had a $3000 per month payment (inclusive of Insurance and Taxes).

@Barbara Bergen-  is the lender inclusing the rental income from your townhomes  ? 

This isn't inclusive but should give you a good start.

The best way to handle is by submetering, but they can get priceyJust add on the cost of utilities to the rent (inclusive) next time you advertise.Be careful, some laws prohibit you from charging like this when it’s all on one meter

This isn't inclusive but should give you a good start.
