@Samuel Lindgren your best bet would be to bake the averages into the rent and then advertise owner covers water.

@Jelani Fearon is it flat out illegal to do it or is it illegal to have more than a certain number of unrelated persons in the house?

The average Agent/Realtor is slow, uneducated and very inexperienced.Even realtors that have 30+ year experience have never made a seller financed offer or any creative offer.For me, realtors get flat fees, if we work with them at all.

Very hard to flatly price it by $/sf because homes in Boston and New England in general have all different conditions and are older so there's no stable metric to be able to do this. 

@Marcello Di Gerlando, like @John Underwood, I just charge the guests a flat rate and I charge a bit more to cover the costs of cleaning supplies.Except for this year, my new cleaner is back in Coeur d'Alene and the drive out and back makes our home a single day cleaning so she is charging us $300 to clean it.

I offered more than asking and asked for some repairs, but it was a flat out no-negotiations, As Is sale.

If my PMs charge me anything, it would be a $35 dollars flat fee (but again, never got charged for coordination). 

Indianapolis has been at the top of the list for many investors historically speaking dues to being a flat market (pretty much the opposite of TX right now in reactive real estate as people flock in groves from CA realizing work from home could be here to stay & want lower tax rates/cost of living) and perks like cheaper purchase price point and lower tax rates (Marion Co for example just above 1% {for comparison NJ is right around 2.49%} ) When you first  look into Indianapolis there's likely going to be a lot of info or posts about Fountain Square- I wanted to touch base on this first and say from the start- FS was BOOMING not that long ago- one of the main reasons being that the numbers here made a lot of sense (I'm talking about purchase price point here mainly) now as most home owners do, they've seen a lot of neighborhood changes, and in most cases talked to neighbors that have gotten "X amount" for their home and the natural thought of "What could I sell for now too??"

Another ~$300/month for utilities (assuming cheap Cable option), puts you at nearly $1K negative per month.Note, you will have ~$880 equity paydown (sure thing), plus property appreciation and rent appreciation (not so sure in near term, but historically true for long term).It likely will work out well, but what happens if the prices fall and rents stay flat (such as for the Great Recession)? 

You could RUBS it or charge a flat fee as well.
