Need advice: spilt utilities vs add a utility fee.

[Noah P Bonds]

Plan is to sell in the next 5 yrs or so. Trying to split gas & electric utilities so tenants pay their own.

Trouble is doing so may cost 10k or so. It will eliminate me having to pay their bills though, which are roughly 4K/yr.

I’m wanting to know how much separate utilities will add to resale value. I can certainly see what the payoff period will be, but I’m really thinking long term and what this might do for helping me sell down the road. I know I’d personally rather pay for something with separate utilities given the choice.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thank You!
