@Carlos Asuaje while the parents may be the ones footing the bill, they are not there to watch over and monitor their kid's behavior/actions.It is extremely important to heavily screen all applicants.

I should start out with a house and rent out the other rooms that way I live there with the roommates and I can monitor things closely as a landlord.

We HAD to hire a Commercial Architect & then design, install & monitor ($100/month) a 24/7 fire sprinkler system, BUT they let me do all the design/install work, didn't even force me to get permits, but were on my azz every week for updates. 

Once you've done your analysis, go into the auction knowing your highest price and then be disciplined about not going above it.Second advice is we recommend that you identify a property or two you're not interested in, due a mock due diligence on it/them and then monitor those auctions to their conclusion with an eye on when you might bid. 

Monitor Progress: Regularly review and assess your progress toward the 3-month goals.

Just search on-line, you'll find a number of products.Hi Danielle , are you using the Flume device to monitor water consumption to bill tenants ?

Yes, for the most part, Qualified Intermediaries are not licensed, regulated or monitored by any government agency. 

The Zwave capability allows us to remotely programme and operate the lock via our building management/monitoring system.

I would pitch standards, not hand picked tenants but high tenant standards, aggressive monitoring and filling of units with qualified tenants.
