I had someone who did somewhat the opposite, where they changed their mind and wanted 10' basement ceilings and did not check the grade with the invert of the sewer in the street and had to add pumps etc. to their system. 

My best advice when diving into investing out of state is to find a realtor who can easily plug you in with their systems and network of  lenders, GCs, PMs, etc.

Has anyone use RUBS (ratio utility billing system) on a small multifamily property (say 10 units or less)? 

@Brandon Gale other than a destructive guest, this is the worst part of hosting.I've devised a guest feedback system ("Review Intercept") that I'd be happy to show you.The concept is to intercept reviews by surveying guests upon check-out.

I have no interest to leave an imprint on the internet for multiple rent lowering's on my own property. 

Hi BP,Just wanted to get thoughts on different heating options.I need to install a new heating system in one of my apartment units (approx 580 sqft) but wanted to get thoughts on whether an Electric Wall Heater was a good option?

.- Evaluate all major systems (mechanical, electrical, roof, plumbing, foundation, etc).

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

One has no experience with real estate, however, does have experience with managing systems with a large company.
