@Jonathan Klemm hello! They can’t get a FPC because there is no meter

It is my understanding that a licensed plumber can install a water meter at a property instead of waiting for the city to eventually get to it. Do we have to get the meter from the city or can we install our own meter with a remote from a plumbing supply store? I’m in a rush because I sold a house with no meter on it and I can’t get an FPC until it’s in place. Title company is holding $10k of my money in an escrow account until I get it. Thanks for you help. Chicago is a piece of work to do business!

@Trey Gartner I’m in the exact same predicament. What did you end up doing? I’m having a licensed plumber come in and install one for me so the city can finally give me a FPC.

Quote from @Jay Garrison:

7/20 Update

I had a water meter installed today. Just one for the entire building, in the basement unit. A contractor for the city called me on Mon to schedule and they came out this morning, had everything done by 9ish. Free, and they ran copper piping. Apparently they are going by zip code. If you aren't registered with the meter save program, get in it now.

Never before have I actually looked forward to receiving a utility bill! 


 WOW. I am in the exact same boat. I flipped a house with no meter and closed on the property. Title company is witholding $10k of my money until a FPC and water meter is installed. I had someone install a meter and thought all was good until the city came out and said there was no transmitter. I found a plumbing supply place in Chicago that sells meters with the remote and having to have a plumber come in and install it. It has been a month and half trying to get this done.

Has anyone purchased rental property in MX or doing Airbnb in MX while living in the US? If so, would like to connect about the process and how you handle the financials etc.

@Nathan Leger This May sound harsh brother but the simple and best answer is get off you *** and just go do it.

Some would argue pay off personal debt first and some will argue to take what you have saved, invest in RE and use the profits to pay off your debt. The answer is do what is best for YOUR individual situation. Good luck!

 It works anywhere, you just dont have access to his team.
