@James Wise has a great video explaining this: As an investor focused agent with boots-on-the-ground here in Cleveland- I would love to help you find and purchase a solid property!

I would then get someone out there to do an inspection and confirm it is working and make sure they video record or take photos to prove its working.

On the surface that sounds fine except with VRBO I did not where I have access to their credit card to charge them directly but rather I could submit an extra charge and it's up to the guest if they pay or not.

That said, utilities that aren't directly attributed to a unit can be a pain in the neck because everyone is sure that the other unit(s) are using more power than they are.

Potential for manipulation: Some agents may be using this argument to discourage sellers from allowing buyers and their agents to negotiate commissions directly.3.

You can also list on Facebook Marketplace, join local Section 8 Facebook groups, or contact CMHA directly - they often have a list of people looking.

Any advice, mentorship or direction would be greatly appreciated. 

When I asked the seller for receipts detailing the work done and requested permission to speak with the mitigation company directly, he refused.

If you get a plumbing bill for $100, that $100 goes directly to the plumber. 

I can send you the video.
