How do you know if your tenants are paying the water bill on time when you own multiple properties?

I was then quoted for about $60/mo but the problem is they only want to do their basic coverage which doesn't cover water damage.Any suggestion on what should I be getting as a coverage and why?

As soon as I and renewed the lease the tenant wrote me this long message with all these thing wrong, including drain smells bad(she’s been putting bleach down the drain to kill the odor, the lights in the kitchen and bedroom are flickering(this ones easily fixable) & the bathroom floor is in-caving because of water damage(she suggested a new shower door).

You mentioned capital improvements, would this be similar to an upgrade rather than fixing AC or replacing water heater etc?

The home is in complete shambles (no plumbing, no electrical, water damage etc.) about $150K in repairs are needed.The home is in a great location and would sell for a large profit if fixed up. 

But, you could even tell them that emergencies (think water damage or structural damage) could be authorized without your consent.However, also consider if there's someone else State-side you could designate with a limited or durable Power of Attorney (which you need to do anyway since you're deploying).

There is absolutely something a newbie could miss.There will often be back taxes, back water bills, other liens.

Most agents are just trying to stay above water for the first few months.

They agreeing to findings.2. complete repairs found by inspection and deduct from deposit3. clean carpet if they don't provide a receipt from a local, professional cleaner which is the condition they received it in. deduct from deposit if they didn't.4. if a pet was allowed, they must turn in a receipt showing it was treated for fleas. if If they dont it comes out of the deposit. if any damage from pet they're given an estimate of repair and sign an agreement that they will pay any excess not covered by deposit.5. touch up painting as needed, filters changed, fire alarm batteries updated.6. get keys from tenant and change locks. old locks go into inventory to be used in other properties.7. return their deposit with a letter documenting what expenses were paid out of it and a notice that they are welcome to return if they were a good tenant. they can use the statement for their future landlord as well. if they were not a good tenant, they go on a do not rent list for future reference with a copy of mive.iut inspection signed by them indicating damages and/or non-compliance behavior.
