Make sure you understand your utility (electric/gas/water/sewer) and trash/lawn/snow expenses.

Brought gas line and split all utilities What was the outcome?

I got an electrical corded leaf vacuum mulcher as they seem to offer the most power for the cheapest price - however, gas-powered versions are more powerful and have unlimited reach if you can spring for it.Next, measure height to top of your gutters (first story, second story.

Tenant is responsible for all water, gas, etc so the monthly expenses are low.
