Your lease should be very specific about which utilities are included with rent and which ones the tenant pays for.

Essentially it works out to them gifting us a house - they'll pay the down payment and reimburse us for mortgage costs each month, and when they die the house will be ours (and we will continue making the payments ourselves or sell it).I'm not sure yet how repairs will be funded, but either we or them could cover those costs financially and neither of us are going to be trying to squeeze the other one, so I'm not worried about managing that. 

It’s home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the top hospitals in the country, and Case Western Reserve University, making it a hotspot for steady rental income.Dayton offers a similar appreciation range of 3-7% but shines with cash flow at 10-18%.
