Hi @Alleia James, I was referring to multifamily buildings where one unit’s (usually the garden unit) utilities are tied into the common area building utility meters paid by the landlord.  

I will definitely utilize those.

I ask this because I have several Business expenses that are not directly tied to any one property or tools/assets that are used for numerous properties (i.e. table saw, Utility Trailer, Simplisafe Unit, etc).

The rent I am charging is $1200. for a 2/2 not including utilities. 

I plan to utilize property management regardless of what type of property I purchase, but I was wondering what advice any of you may have in regards to starting off.I look forward to hearing any and all advice you all can provide!

If you look at a normal SFR or any kind of MFR, always include management.What about lawn care, snow removal, insurance, and utilities?

The rent I am charging is $1200. for a 2/2 not including utilities.

I understand that utilities would not be split, etc., but is this something that we would legally be able to do if we no longer live in it?

I currently use Ally bank to get a slightly higher rate for savings (1.5%) and they limit me at 5 accounts so I have it split up for income, capex + repairs, mortgage +taxes +insurance, utilities, vacancy 

Albeit a great Airbnb investment in Nashville, I think my money could be better utilized elsewhere.
