I'm residing in Canada but am a dual citizen and ready to pull a trigger on a rental property in Dallas, TX as I have family there who can monitor things when I'm gone.

@Pat McCandless We have a solid infrastructure in place to deal with the tenants and the unique kinds of maintenance issues that come up with a multi family house as opposed to a single family so we do not find them any more difficult than a single family. 

I start from scratch and monitor who I’m putting in my house and when.

@Denzell Hoover Check the park's infrastructure.

when you hook up to city sewage , you have to pay a front foot assessment  ( covers the cost of the infrastructure )   then you have to pay a plumber to lay a pipe and connect , ( around $9000 ) then there is the hook up fee from the city ( around $ 20k in my area )    then you pay monthly sewer charges .i will take septic tanks all day long

Clearly the ultimatum is RUBS is free to implement and only costs a monthly fee to pay a company to do it for you or your own labor to do it each month vs. pay for a larger up front cost to install meters (that is not always cheap) and a monthly monitoring cost.

Plus i'm building infrastructure there now....   

Hard to scale a home buying business nationwide without local knowledge & infrastructure on the ground.

You add aw separate meter which you monitor and then bill the tenants after the fact.
