I wanted them to sell these properties years ago but I guess I can officially say goodbye to my money.

My rental still does not have many responses as listed by my current Property management company .

Quote from @Tomasz Kaminski: I'm looking locally at my county auctions and there's properties for sale due to foreclosure.

I have a personal sign-up link, so if you decide to make the switch, use my link!

I purchased a property in Chicago in 2024 and pay $400 a month for my water bill (unmetered).

It is common and customary acrossa almost all rentals except some A class office to pay your share of utilities.Now you can make whatever arangment you'd like and work it out however you want with your tenant but if you are going to "share costs" I'd suggest keeping the utilities in your name, and then "back billing" the tenants for that share of their usage, but again thats a lot of work for really no gain in my book.My recommendation would be to simply have the tenants pay all utilities. 

However, my portfolio is mostly B2B and the businesses I work with are comfortable paying the nonrefundable fee plus the refundable security deposit. 

My in-laws own a 40 acre almond farm in Central Valley, Ca with a 3200 sq. ft. house on it.

My only concern is my schedule changes all the time meaning the days I’m not scheduled to work can change to now I’m working.

My first question is what if things go wrong with the tenant (DG)?
