Also, once you own the property and are dealing with actual results it makes it easy to adjust for historical actual numbers on a monthly basis to monitor how the investment is performing.

I've always been like, are they for real... but since I subscribe to a few credit monitoring services I will hopefully find out if my credit does go down a lot due to too many credit checks.Wow, I have so much mortgage debt that I can't even imagine having a 609K home paid in full - good for you!

Jim still waiting for at least one post to support your position .. so lets bump thread up and see if you can get at least one person to agree with you  LOL... even if what you suggested could be implimented you could never monitor it.. there would be all sorts of back room deals.and this is just capitalism.would you not like to be offered Google on the opening sale of the stock.. ( I did not get a chance to buy it) only the players did ... so how do you reform that industry.

Some other options may be:Put a fence around the dumpster and have a door that requires a key to get in.Light the area around the dumpsterPut up Video Surveillance signs (if cost effective could install one camera that monitors the property and dumpster, would be good for tenant safety as well)Have you done any of those things above?

I currently only use creditkarma.com to monitor because its truly free but I don't get a full report.

What keeps the state auto insurance honest is that it's not centralized to the federal government and the regulators have to live in the system they monitor.

The first pitch was for a credit repair/monitoring "system" you can try to sell to your tenants and or un-qualified buyers of your properties.

From the beginning of the System use we monitored its effectiveness closely.

Why not implement the sign out sheet now especially if you can have someone monitor it.

(so each apt. would be on sep. zone instead of one like it is now) - Because of the fact the radiators have more mass and don’t need as much heat, PLUS the fact you don’t have the “stack temp†restriction (law says oil fired boiler than uses chimney must get stack temp to certain temp but propane has no exhaust) – can run these propane furances at lower temp therefore saving energyso that all being said I'd love your thougts on what a good "plan of action" would be for replacement some day.another note: 3 of hte apartments are laid out so they'd be great candidates for propane monitors. bottom floor is 1 BR BUT larger layout, might need 2 monitors or other heat source which would be pricier....
