How do you handle the month to month bills on a house/condo I know some of the bills can be emailed but what about the others and how do you pay them. Is the mail forwarded, do you have to set up a account at a US bank to pay bills on-line
Thanks

I'm Canadian and I pay majority of my monthlies online.

Set up a savings account with an American bank, then register your bills for online banking. You should be able to do this with most I believe.

The ones you can't, either prepay a few months in advance (that's what I first did with cox), or have someone you can trust pick up / check your mail for you on a semi regular basis.

Then, the important stuff, like property tax, etc. they can forward to you.

Good luck

I do what my Canuck friends do - pay everything through online banking. In fact, I've got auto payments on my LV property (even HOA fees) except for tax payments - which I pay once a year just to keep it simple.

The best thing I did after buying LV property was to ensure ALL mailings come to my home in Salt Lake City. I made sure the utilities, taxes, etc., have my SLC address. As a result, all I get at my LV address is junk mail - which I toss when I'm in town every two months.

Are you leaving your 2nd homes vacant or renting them out?

We would be leaving it vacant and visit every couple of months

I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Just want to find a way to secure the place and set it up where it can be left that way without problems.
