read your HOA documents, typically this would be the responsibility of the association as the meters are common area elements, but without seeing those docs everyone would be guessing.

In this market, they don't have to.However, we have now also an element that makes our job much easier as investors: appreciation.

Begin your 'pre qualification' process for the acquisition now (most commercial lenders won't issue a PreQual but rather a LOI) In general, Commercial transactions can take longer due to extended due diligence, appraisal, environmental reports and financing (60+ days) so you'll want to initiate your search during the marketing of the down leg as it can cause a tighter timeline than a residential transaction. 

In the world of development you have money at risk to complete these and other reports, legal, zoning, permitting, environmentals, etc before you go hard on your deposit with a seller.
