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.

She bought it from an older lady whose grandson had power of attorney. 

Additionally, he left all his tools at the worksite and I message him to get in touch with me to arrange for pick up. 

Real estate seems to be the right tool for this!

Its so painful to see my cash lose purchasing power every month so im feeling the pressure to get in quickly.

Ideally the tool would be able to collect rent, send reminders, include late fees, and do accounting reports.
