In 2015, I closed on two houses (both co-workers at PNC) and fully understand how tough it was to juggle both jobs and provide acceptable service to my clients.  

Get the seller to agree to a deduct to cover it at closing, accept it, or walk.  

If it's somewhere you travel to often then that can be acceptable.

At the end of the year charge/refund the difference in the actual charges.Use the previous method but break out utilities for the units on each shared meter instead of the total cost for all meters.Break up each bill as it arrives. and divide it by units on the meter This would add a lot of overhead to the work load.For water, gas and trash service I think it would be acceptable to share the costs based on sqft.I just dont know what the common practice is and my experience isn't in commercial offices.

In my case, all I did was make an offer, have it accepted, owner did "stuff", and I closed and moved in :)

But those shelters wouldn't accept them, unless they were freshly washed.

If their apartment is really ready to rent, then raise the rent just above market value for 12 mo lease and tell them they can stay if they accept.

First, you should not accept checks for late rent.

We profit in real estate from accepting risk!

MLS says 120 days. it was probate. i think we had accepted offer sometime nov, or oct. i really dont know the details. i just know i wasn't ready for it to be purchased and i had to scramble to get money to close on it.
