Are all of the utilities separate?

The $1500 operating expenses are things like taxes, insurance, management (even if you do it yourself), maintenance, advertising, office expenses, utilities (even if only during vacancies), legal fees, evictions, damage done by tenants in excess of the security deposit, etc, etc, etc.

We are also concious of energy and try to keep our utility bills to a minimum (shutting off lights, keeping heat down, etc.,).

Utilize the back to further explain what you do, and how you can help people.

What I cannot account for is the utilities.

Utilities now covered by the tenant and that allows them a few moving days without having to rent both places.

I feel buy utilizing this forum, costly mistakes can be mitigated.

Currently we pay $1180 a month to rent out a 1140 square foot town home and about $1536.00 after utilities.

Only on rare ocassions have I seen the bank/lender allow buyer to utilize own title company.

Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization.....Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce.
