How do your earnings compare to a long-term rental where the tenant pays for utilities and landscaping?

Because I will have a full-time job in a year, I plan on utilizing the buy & hold strategy on SFRs and multifamily properties.  

Only thing I take from the seller is the actual utility bills. 

The daughter was in an argument with her brother the other day and apparently is refusing to leave.He has also had the utilities shut off so shes there with no utilities I think.

All utils are in tenants names, and rent rolls indicate they're decent, blue collar tenants.I offered $120K cash.

It's a low income area and big houses have high utility costs. 

The most difficult is picking a direction and then comes the 2nd most difficult part, staying with it.

This is just my experience with HELOCs, I’m not licensed to give any kind of financial advice, check with your accountant or financial advisor to ensure you are utilizing the correct financial products to reach your goals.

Don't get caught in the trap of not wanting to hurt your cash flow, when that equity could be better utilized to generate more cash flow in a safely leveraged additional investment with all the other associated benefits of owning more property(loan pay down, depreciation, chance for appreciation, etc.).

I am so excited to find Bigger Pockets,  typically commute an hour and a half to work, I listen to tons of podcasts and recently came across Bigger Pockets and have been listening nonstop, I am also very pumped to start utilizing the website as well.
