However, we do not want the tenant to pay for the electricity that we use.I contacted Edison and the County to see if we could install an additional electric pole to have a separate meter, but they said it is not allowed to have more than one pole for our property.I found a sub-meter on Amazon, and I wonder if it is allowed to install one on the electric pole, so our tenant can see how much energy we have used.

Hi Andrew - I use Reliant Energy (https://www.reliant.com) for the rental portfolio I own and the rentals I manage for others.You can ask Reliant for a month-to-month contract, instead of a 1 year contract. 

The research will investigate potential soil contamination, ground and surface water quality, along with the presence of hazardous substances on the site, and will include researching files from various municipal and state departments including the planning and zoning department, health department, fire department, and the Department of Environmental and Energy Protection (DEEP).

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

Is the split one person has the capital but not the time/energy for the work, and the other is the opposite? 

How much capital, time, and energy can you put in to markets farther from your local area.

I recently founded Auben Capital Partners to focus my time and energy on raising capital.Today, I lead a team of SFR experts who have transacted over 2 billion dollars in sales, completed over 30,000 renovations/developments and leased over 20,000 units.However it was a long road to get to this point, full of lots of challenges and lessons learned.

You saved time and energy and money to have to file eviction, wait for them to be remvoed, then clean up, then put it back on market.  

Energy (propane/electric) costs annually are atleast double to triple for an indoor heated pool, unless it is a small fiberglass insert which guests detest as they are just a little larger than a hot tub. 

I would rather spend my time and energy on something else.I got into this for FIRE; self managing properties doesn't align with my goals from real estate.
