I investigated your ideas on the web.

While new to the site, I've been in banking and the lending industry for years.

There are two power systems, battery operated or hard wired, which allow the meter to communicate with a wireless router that sends the data to a database at the company (this is accessable to you the owner/property manager via the web) and then a bill is sent to the tenants automatically at a interval that you set.

@Alina Trigub I mainly work with web applications.

Hello BP Community,I love this web site and want to thank @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner and @David Greene for the great Podcast!

I have just started searching the web for properties, as well as reaching out to my small network of investors, agents, and brokers. 

I'm relatively new to real estate so I'm hoping you can offer some useful insight.Applicant 1: Excellent credit, low debt-to-income ratio, upper-middle-class income, very little available cash in bank account (cash is mostly in stock and retirement accounts)Applicant 2: Mediocre credit, better-than-average debt-to-income ratio, middle-class income, enough cash available to almost buy home outright.

Tell your tenant that she can do research on the web, as I did, and find help.

Web site should give you some insight too.

An overview can be found here.The CMHC web-site also has a mortgage calculator which will accommodate high-ratio, insured mortgages.My recommendation is to learn the underlaying principals, be able to perform the calculations manually and develop your own spreadsheet.
