They monitor the meters remotely, and send you and the resident a statement on the 1st of each month with the resident’s W/S/T usage and charges for the previous month.I use their Model TSN1 - PVC Meter which currently costs $95 each.Each building also needs at least one router which currently costs $195.If you have your meters in a centralized location, you only need one router but if the meters are scattered throughout the building, you may need multiple .There’s a monthly $6 fee per unit for the monitoring and invoicing.If you decide to give it a try, feel free to use discount code msam10 for a 10% discount.If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me directly.And if you need to buy a building to put Sub-Meters in, I’m happy to chat about that as well

Get a good lawyer, pay him to monitor your communications and work with listing agents directly so you're not making rookie mistakes(they'll charge a flat fee or like 1-2 hours so nothing egregious). 99% of "investor" friendly agents are not that, they're ****.
