i would not have all the bills sent to the same place, if they ever find that place and those bills, they can find all your spots. never keep any paper work leading to another property in your spots.
If you are going to put all the bills in one name, then start up "420 real estate holdings" and put all the bills in that name.
I have seen numerous people with legit rentals get multiple bills, no issues.
You may not really want to use 420 holdings but you get the point
Not unless any op at any address comes under an investigation.
If so, you've basically just handed them all of them, instead of just the one that investigation identified at time initiated.
Kind of defeats the purpose of having separate ops in the first place.
So, yes. It's a big fuckin problem, and one that actually escapes most people until too late.
Landlord? Tenant paid?
Yeah, sure. No problem, except:
1. An owner typically does not pick up peoples 500 a month electrics.
2. An investigation would turn up quick what kind of building and if usage warranted,and also check the units to see if building account and units account separate.
B. Power would be among the first things checked.
3. If your never going to go near (ever) the op itself, it probably would still not work, as before they knew you didn't (have anything to do with it/go near it) they would find the other accounts with similar usage and whether present or not, your then a suspect as part of the conspiracy.
Multiple Ops 101:
Each location separate names, not linked in any way.
They get one, they go into accounts, they have them all within minutes. (Would actually strengthen case)
Never give them anything. They want it, make it as much work as possible to bring it down.
Power/use comes into play as part of an investigation.
