I've done some research on this the past couple of days and I've found some ideas, but I'm not sure if it's worth pursuing them or I should just give up on the idea and wait for a different property.Separate meters: From the research that I've done (a lot on BP forums), this seems to be way too expensive to consider.Submetering: This seems to be a viable option, but I have no idea how much the initial setup would cost or the how much the ongoing monitoring would cost.

It's one thing to trust your PM to screen tenants and monitor the condition of the property when the turnover is every couple of years vs on a daily or weekly basis.

That assumes the thing is in pristine condition with all infrastructure And cosmetic items completed so you are 10-15 years without any major repair. 

Even when it's occupied, you are relying on a tenant to monitor this for you.  

I tend to agree with the prior comments about holding rentals near infrastructure access.  

Furthermore, it seems that the City of Peoria is appealing directly to TSMC and the supporting high-tech industry with the Class A office infrastructure planned for the P83 district.

A property manager would be your best contact for drafting the lease and monitoring your new purchase!

If it's local, you can easily check references, meet face to face and monitor the situation.
