I'm sure Josh, Brandon &/or Jaren monitor this category regularly. 

If you want them to be monitored electronically you'll probably have to go with one of the larger utility submetering companies for the installation.

What strategies do you use to monitor and keep your vacant properties safe? 

Side notes property is unique as it has 4 sep water meters tenant pays although I will have to monitor knowing that it is lienable, also township is uniqiue as it charges each individual resident for trash removal.

If so- do you include the monitoring in your rent, or just let the tenant set it up if they want it?

If you are getting calls, showings and applications you are in the correct range.This is for sales not rentals but its a tried and true way to gauge pricing by monitoring interest.So the short answer is I suspect you are overpriced. 

Even those that claim they have experience in real estate, you still have to train them and monitor closely at first.

From what I hear I just think the streamlined 203k is quicker paperwork wise, and doesn't have as much monitoring by the lender during the construction process. 

I can certainly understand that  but in a multi-unit with 2-3 units it's just not practical to have someone monitoring the lot all day long.

Maintenance will be annually reoccurring.
