The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

And remember, lenders change their requirements over time, so what they will do today may not be what they will do next month. 

Bought a place a few months ago on market while doing a 1031 exchange..

I think that will change in six-12 months when the apartment building boom slows significantly. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Purchase price: $271,000 this is the first property I bought, I put 0% down on this, it cashflows me about $350 a month. this property was a good investment, and I think I got lucky. my real estate agent found this for me as it wasn't being sold on market. truly a gem.

However, if I had started off with a house hack, I could have lower my monthly mortgage tremendously which would have helped me build up my savings at a much quicker pace than I had.

I am not seeking to charge each tenant, only seeking to remotely monitor each buildings water usage to identify costly waste/problems early as possible.

And your simply charging points and keeping the points and then a service fee. ( interest rate delta). 

I chose the cabin based on comps from the last 6 months in my area.
