I had one in a rental and offered (at their cost)  the monitoring to tenant.  

Does anyone have experience with Rent Monitor as a software platform for managing units and collecting rent (current users)?  

Please help me explore the pros and cons so I can try to find creative solutions to make seller financing a win-win-win solution for the seller, the buyer, and the realtor.I understand that the actual number of people that could sell in this manner may be limited.

If so, that is an easy solution. 

There is a solution tailor made for you coming this fall.

Here are some examples:Marketing - Developing a compelling website, pitch book, and other marketing material.Credibility - I lack the practical experience to convince most potential partners.I feel like the solution to this is to put together a dream team of experts for an Advisory Board.

Like I say, Find Solutions...Not excuses!

Hopefully by that point you are able to see the opportunity and then create the solution.

Any cost effective solutions out there for how I can fairly and legally get the tenants to pay for their own heat?

I am always just skeptical when someone who has obvious financial interests in whipping up fear and uncertainty spends such a great amount of bandwidth coming into a forum whipping up fear and uncertainty.Maybe some people actually need to shell out a bunch of dough to "experts" to put a "compliance monitoring program" in place or to have them review the legalese of their websites, and maybe it makes them feel better knowing that even if nobody has ever been prosecuted for the things they are paying money to address, it is still a good investment.
