Without tenants it's easier to show the property and the condition can look better than if tenants have their stuff everywhere.

Here’s what I do with my rentals:I either have tenants split the utility bills or include a clause in the lease that states if the gas or water bill exceeds a specific amount ($X), the tenant will be responsible for the overage, provided there are no leaks or other infrastructure issues contributing to the high usage.To determine this $X amount:Water: I take the highest water bill I’ve had over the past year (excluding periods where leaks occurred) and add about $15 to account for small fluctuations or potential increases.Gas: For gas, I calculate the median bill during the winter (when usage is highest) and the median bill in the summer (when usage is typically lowest).

Its great you have done one flip.

You need to have two, one is the architect and the other is you/PM.

But you have to understand the seller is taking on a significant risk of having someone else run the property and not knowing if they will get the final payout.If you are getting typical rates, why would you not just buy the property outright with 20% down and obtain mortgage financing from a lender?
