I have a unique situation wherein the property I want to purchase is owned by 5 siblings and they have all agreed they want the oldest sibling to sign everything on their behalf, so they want to complete a power of attorney form to give him the right to sign.

Account Closed I assume you also use power of attorney and have a conversation with the owner regarding insurance on the property, too?

Either way we both learn which is what makes BiggerPockets such a powerful tool for its members

It gives you more purchasing power.

Podcasts are such a powerful way of reaching an audience.

If he does then more power to him but it gives me comfort in knowing he loves what he does.And you brought up a great point in there that drips with wisdom. 

I have bought houses where the tenants jumped the meters,but now most power companies have smart meters which prevents this type of theft,it still the electric company responsibility to supply the meters stolen or not,

If they don't, there may be underlying issues.Information is power, be nosy, it can save you some headaches down the road.Hope this helps.

The power went out a few times on the block recently and they’re asking for the code “just in case”.If you were in my shoes, how would you handle this situation different?

I like using income and the power of using the cap rate over Sales Comps.
