If sell, it could help to sell the house.In Baltimore, we have specific insurances plans for plumbing electric mechanical etc...  

Also, the bottom two units share an electrical meter where as the top has its own meter.

The 1st question is, was there a will and was an executor or a power of attorney given to someone?

As long as you're reaching out to people with the information they want, and you have consent to message them - a mass texting service can be a very powerful communication tool for delivering reminders, notifications, and alerts.

Hitting a "cash ceiling" is a common occurrence for property investors looking to scale and there are a few different ways to power through it.  

Your Pre-Approval letter properly positions you and your agent as to what your buying power is.

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.

Correction, the effective purchasing power would increase, not the money supply.
