@Stuart UdisYour post highlights an important distinction between two different lending experiences.  

I've been in the real estate accounting field for almost 20 years, and in my experience, it's helpful to think of the software you use in two distinct levels:Property Management (PM) Software: This handles the property-level operations.Dedicated Accounting Software (like QuickBooks): This is used for corporate-level accounting.Not all PM platforms come with robust accounting modules.

For that I guess either the owner could do that themselves or hire a Realtor (tm) for that one specific task.Somebody tell me if I've got that wrong.Also, what is the distinction between "leasing" and "renting"?

Take away the dirt cheap real estate, this town isn't really desirable to anybody, and I think this is a huge distinction between Cal City and Desert Hot Springs, Julio.  

However, the new Community Development Grant (CDG) program simplifies access to critical funds, offering three distinct grant categories:-Small Grants (up to $250,000)-Medium Grants ($300,001 to $5 million)-Large Grants (over $5 million)These grants can support a wide range of projects, including office, retail, cultural, industrial, and mixed-use developments of more than 10+ housing units with ground-floor retail.

However, I’ve tried to make it very clear that there is a very distinct difference in paying additional to a mortgage and paying additional to a HELOC.  

I see similar distinctions  in employment discrimination cases too.  

I want to make a distinction on how property managers get paid; Most are compensated based on COLLECTED rents, while some are paid based on SCHEDULED rents. 

The important distinction here is -- just because I, as a layman, didn't notice something was out of code, doesn't mean it's no longer a code violation.

Forgot to mention that the distinction between meters costing thousands of dollars vs. about a hundred may be whether or not the meters are installed by the utility... where I'm based the public utilities charge an arm and a leg for meter installation, but we are installing our own cold water submeters (upstream of the utility meter) in each unit for somewhere around $200 each I believe (don't have the numbers in front of me), which includes the cost of the wireless transmitters, repeaters, and receiver.
