Also helps me answer the same, I have a current  HELOC but have not utilized it yet, looking for the right opportunity.

@Alex DelTaxation when it comes to house-hacking can become very complex.To answer your question - Yes, you would include the utilities billed as income.You would be eligible for a potential deduction for the actual utilities used by the tenant that you paid for.

There are strategies that you can utilize to make your offer stand out.

For example, the mortgage is $1000 and i can collect rent for $750, leaving me to pay the remaining $250 for the mortgage plus utilities. 

Purchase price: $405,000 Cash invested: $4,000 2 bedroom 1.5 bath with $480 true cashflow (PITI, CapEx, Vacancy, Utilities, etc..)

Those can be tinkered with and upgraded along the way, but in my experience most agents who enjoy the utility of their website will eventually move to a host service that adds a lot of bells and whistles onto the website (SEO, CRMs, blog posts, etc).I’d start with this:  many brokers have a master website with the ability for each agent to have a micro-site within it (could be an agent page, possibly some search functionality, etc).  

Solution: invest the $1MM gain into a mobile home park syndication where cost segregation / bonus depreciation is being utilized. 

Apply the deposit to the cleaning, then the unpaid rent, utilities, etc.

The utility of this rule fluctuates with numerous factors such as HOA fees, high property taxes etc. 

FULLY leased out for a total rental income of $3, 115 (Unit A is $1000 plus (150 utilities), Unit B is $870 plus (100 utilities), Unit C is $995 (utilities included), no HOA, No Flood Area, and low yearly taxes for a more attractive CAP rate!.
