Hi Danielle, if you're looking to dive into the real estate investing world, it would help to utilize some of the real estate tools out there.

From a pure usage standpoint, it’s usually not worth adding an entirely new service just for the furnace load.The real issue isn’t power consumption, it’s fair and defensible utility allocation once both units are tenant occupied.In practice, you usually have three realistic options:Landlord-paid furnace electricThe simplest and most common solution is to keep the furnace tied to one panel and make heat an owner-paid utility.

Utilities don’t invest billions ahead of demand unless they’re confident the demand is real.When you step back and look at the fundamentals, Kentucky is stronger than people give it credit for.

That means using it for personal expenses or your new primary home wouldn’t give you the same tax benefit.You’ll also want to see how rental income interacts with your current income and understand passive vs. non-passive income to make sure you aren't missing out on any other tax-saving opportunities and to determine whether a short-term or long-term rental makes the most sense.

So I would appreciate the offer to interact with other investors 

If anything I would consider this a red flag with this tenant.The next request might be if you could remove the cap on utilities or allow them multiple pets without charging additional or ANY fees.

Our team has done 150+ transactions this year utilizing turnkey rentals, BRRRRs and flips. 

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @Jay Hinrichs  There's definitely a time and place for it but from my observation the people who have been posting are coming to BiggerPockets because they can't find the missing piece to their capital stack, have little to no experience and the only way they can purchase property is by utilizing this method.

Key detail here is the voucher rent includes utilities, so we pay the utility bills as the landlord.After stabilization we refinanced 120k.

The RentRedi does not take the human interaction aspect out of your process or transaction, but it gives you that buffer, makes it easier, organized, consistent, repeatable and professional.
