This is a property I bought 7 years ago and back then we did not do the same level rehabs as we do today.Do you run into the same issue?

You've got issues.

The issue I'm running into is that I made a claim last year due to the hailstorm here in Austin.

But I guess hotels don't normally have an issue- well most of the time.

Tenants save money when using a shared meter, so there's plenty of room for error when calculating how to distribute the charges.

There are major manufacturers and distribution centers as local economic drivers that help support a high quality of life for its' residents.Montgomery, Alabama is centrally located and perfectly positioned in the Sun Belt.

We are finding that our "pet friendly" properties are renting more, and that likely offsets any extra repairs & maintenance throughout the year for pet-related issues.

My only issue with the above is using the zillow estimate. 

Someone I know owns section 8 properties, he doesn’t have any issues and the rent gets deposited directly to his account.

I go over our property 4x a year looking for issues.
