But San Francisco is very tenant-friendly, and the SFAA rental agreement is designed to be favorable to San Francisco landlords.

I read about ratio utility billing systems (RUBS) and curious to hear about personal experiences with this.I am open to company recommendations.

For example, if you are buying the property outright, i.e. no mortgage, that $1000 -$1500 per month goes to your expenses, (utilities, capital expenditures, vacancy, etc.) and the remainder is your net cash flow.

I have great credit and I am looking into 0% first year credit cards to utilize. 

But the property would never do that because of its design and limitations, so in order to make money, I'd have to either create more space/more bedrooms, or wait for the area to improve.

What will your monthly expenses be for:Any utilities you have to payYour maintenance costsYour vacancy costsYour CAPEX costsYour property management costsAny other costs I may have missedWhat net return are you looking to make on this property?

You should be able to ask the owner about the extra costs (utilities, HOAs, insurance, etc.). 

THE INSPECTION:Overall, property needed ~$1,000 in misc minor repairsThe roof needed to be completely replacedBecause of the bad roof and the 'final offer' designation from the seller, I walked away from the deal.

With that out of the way please read on.This idea is designed to do 3 things:Increase revenueDecrease expenses(Mainly for A/B class properties) Make your building more appealingI would love to get some feedback from Investors/property managers before I start talking with investors in my area about it. 

There are sleek designs and its very user friendly.
