@Steve K. do you charge a utility fee to the tenants for the solar panels?

Utility company can tell you the usage for that day.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to provide streaming TV watching options for STR where free local digital channels are not available?

The percent distribution of 1/2/3/4 guest stays are almost identical between the 2 years. 2 guest stays make up 2/3s of my stays, with 3 and 4 guest stays being in the single digit percent. 

That being said, I don't think the bank is going to be sending folks to peep through your window to confirm you live there... but you obviously still shouldn't do anything misleading, hypothetical or not :) If you have utilities or some bills in your name headed to that address, that would adequately show a proof of residence to some capacity. 

Utilize tools like BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator and connect with local investors.

I would recommend doing your research and finding a company that has great reviews or try and get a recommendations from owners who utilize PM companies in the Colorado Springs area.

Consider utilities, internet, landscaping, and other expenses.

I would ensure utilities are transferred out of your name also.

If not, your case may be difficult to prove.They should take responsibility for the lawn, security, and utility abuse.
