@Scott WinterI haven't had the opportunity/need to use a hml, but I think what you are describing is normal. 

Utility companies normally let tenants get pretty far behind before the landlord is notified- if the utility company puts a lien on the property for unpaid bills, it is better to have closer control over the bills- If there is a water leak or other problem with the property, the tenant doesn't have to bear the costDisadvantages of having utilties in owner names:- If tenants start using a lot more water/power, it is more difficult to quickly adjust rent or get them to conserve- with pandemic or other freezes on rent or evictions, there is no recourse for utility increases- if the tenant qualifies for low income utility pricing, it has to be in their nameOnce you decide what your guiding principle is, you can align your current rental agreement to match.

I’m planning to hire someone this year to help find deals as I normally purchase from wholesalers and/or agents.  

I also noticed you didn't factor in any utilities like water (normally owner paid), gas or electric.

This anxiety is normal for your first rental. 

It's normal for the cost of goods to increase and most people understand this.

That type of coverage provides an additional limit of liability (normally in increments of $1,000,000) above your home, auto, boat, RV, etc. liability coverage.

.- All assets are removed from your name which will normalize your FICO credit score-They will require quarterly updates on your books-5-10 year balloon is the norm but expect prepayment penalties- Lender holds 3 months of reserves Here was my breakdown when first exploring this: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Properties 20+: PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS:Flush with cash after the cash refinance and hopefully additional capital the number one priority is acquiring properties.

Rates moving around is "normal course of events" type stuff.

The closing agent is not this attorney, but he does work in the title company and oversees the closings and weighs in on them.Reason is I’ve got a transaction that’s gone bad after closing, and in seeking remedies, unbeknownst to me when I started talking to the title company attorney as a “neutral party”, I shared some things I normally wouldn’t have.I found out through the grapevine about his dual role AFTER I had the conversation with him.Shouldn’t this attorney disclose that he is also the managing broker for the seller before talking to me?
