I switch to QBO and then realized I needed 1 subscription for each of my LLCs and custom setup for reports.

And we did sub out the workers on our own.

But we contract with our margin sub $190 per SF right now all hard costs. 2 points 12% for investors. that's in Columbus Ohio for single family and multifamily ground up new construction 85% LTC

Does anyone have recommendations for water sub metering companies in Columbus?

I would not play around with creative finance in terms of spending time trying to find it because it will end up not being the best use of your time unless you have marketing money and understand the different scripts and way you can help people with seller finance or sub to.

Also, for anyone based in Philly, I've heard from one contractor that quotes of 20-30k were common a few years ago, but due to recent rule changes, contractors need to maintain excavation licenses/ insurances to do any dig out work and that cost is getting passed to customers.

There are services out there that will install their own private sub-meter, but you would need to make sure the water supply runs are truly separate. 

Information sought to be protected by an NDA must be specific so that there is no ambiguity, and for the courts to consider the agreement reasonable.Examples of information protected by NDAs include trade secrets, financial information, customer information, intellectual property, product formulae, product information, business plans, contracts with other organizations and computer codes or access processes.Sometimes, defining confidential information is hard because a whole lot of information is involved, especially in unilateral NDAs.

Regardless if your customers only stay one night or not does not make the argument for skipped services .

It's also a simple solution, there are new sub-metering systems available for a few hundred bucks.
