@Jarret HarrisMine was a case of tennant being a professional house sitter.

You receive the utility bill and pay it, while collecting from the tenants.TENANT PAYS When the meters are separated per unit, make it a requirement of move in to have the tenant provide their utility account numbers to you so you know they are set up and not being billed to you. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

@Danny Celestin- thanks   1) yes - there is a large  difference bwtween  investment property and  preimary residence pricing  2)  assuming the 2 quotes provided are for  investment  properties - these are not too bad for a 2-4 unit purchase 

My guess is  @Mark Ainley or @Bob Floss II may be able to provide you some insight.

So, the one step you have been missing is recording a transaction whereby you provide cash to the LLC. 

They will save you nightmares Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My ultimate goal is CASH FLOW (comp rentals $4200/month).Doing the deal cash provides the most cash flow but I would like to BRRRR and recycle that money into another property down the line and grow my portfolio.Thoughts?

This is why lenders, professional investors, and folks underwriting deal preach having reserves.

The taxing authority will actually assist you with that process (ie provide you the forms, etc).
