The data shows a significant appreciation in larger homes' prices and a notable interest in luxury and new apartments.Invest in substantial renovations with high-quality finishes, modern amenities, and possibly smart home technology to attract the upper-end market.

I recommend using your resources to your advantage but doing it the smart way and being patient 

It is smart to take advantage of these high income years to invest in assets, but you want to set yourself up for success.

Learn smart funding plans like lease options, seller-backed loans, subject-to deals, and wraparound mortgages.Build your credit and financial profile by paying down debts, maintaining a good payment history, and demonstrating your investment knowledge.

But is it still possible to put a sub meter like device on individual units just so I know who may be running a bitcoin operation so I can send notices to the right units in that event?

I think that is smart. 

Ring cameras, Minut device, a good cleaner, and smartlock activity log on the app, is your best friend for remote managing.

Your goals should follow the SMART criteria: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

If not then you could just put in a smart thermostat and lock it but you are inevitably going to have people unhappy with the temperature.
