Do you Charge utilities OR write off later?

[Gary F.]

Is it more advantageous to have tenants pay for utilities which we’ll need to add as income OR deduct from taxes as expenses?

[Mike McCarthy]

If you can get the tenants to pay utilities, you’ll always come out on top.

But, if it prices you out of your competition, that’s a bigger problem. You’ll see more turnover if your competition is cheaper for the same quality.

It’s all about knowing your competition!
