We want to travel with no worries. 

@David DachteraSome properties have sub-metering already installed. ( water usage )Option : piggy back system could be installed              owner could set-up a prepayment program             etcCurrent owner would be responsible, if the tenants fails to pay waterusage by December 1st on their property taxes bill.  

However, I have some personal goals around income, travel and freedom that real estate investment can help me achieve.I'm here to learn - bonus if you're from the Lansing area and want to network or meetup in person!

I travel all over the country for work and there is nothing quite like Seattle.  

Besides the information provided already, I recommend you to pick up the phone when you are not traveling and talk to a few people.  

I currently live in Ocala, FL but travel back to OH regularly since my family is there.

Some are really in your face, others just have a travelling guru come through selling their wares.I have found a few that are NO SALES.

So, PM me and we can talk in detail about when you're moving here and how we can work together.Safe travels!

You could install additional blown-in insulation which won't cost a lot, the reduction of the R Value is both energy saving and helps the AC usage.
