Just ensure your pricing includes utilities and internet.

.- Pay attention to insurance and utility rates by area/property. 

Also taxes and insurance and I pay 1 side utility bill which is 300 a month + any repairsOFFER (Seller Finance) Offer Price - $550,000Monthly Payment - $1,300COE: On or before 30 daysEMD: $1,500 non refundable EMD due post inspectionInspection - 7 Business Days Down Payment - $55,000On the 72nd month we'll either sell or ideally refinance and pay out your seller their remaining $401,400 that we'd owe.

My tracker includes:Purchase price + acquisition costsHard money loan breakdown (points, interest, etc.)Holding costs (insurance, taxes, utilities)Rehab budget by category (demo, framing, paint, plumbing, etc.)Actuals vs Budget trackingProfit/loss summaryI update this weekly as invoices and receipts come in.

My two cents is that you have more simplicity and the capital partner is better protected by utilizing that last one - the loan option. 

If you are the most expensive rental in the area, what do the other units have (ie do they have laundry in the unit or is it shared and do they include utilities or not?). 

Utilities in your name, mail, and bills going there, etc. 

They even handle most maintenance and all utilities.

The basement is completely unfinished with just the utilities and foundation walls/cement floor.

Does the HOA cover all utilities?
