What is the best way to Airbnb a mother in-law suit???

[Abram Dominguez]

Thanks a ton for the help! 

So my partner and I just bought a 4 bed 2 bath that is broken up into a 3 bed 1 bath (main house) and a mother-in-law suit that is a 1 bed 1 bath. We will be placing a long term tenant in the main house(3-1) and were plaining on putting the mother in law suit (1-1) on airbnb. Question is.... what is the best way to take care of utilities. All the utilities are connected as of right now. They already have two AC units but would we need two water heaters? The property is in Lindale TX (East Texas) how much would it cost splitting the utilities? We are trying to make it so the long term renters can pay their own utilities. If splitting the utilities end up being too expensive does anyone have some creative Ideas to incentives the renters to NOT run up the bills? Thanks again, Abram!
