I no longer qualified for traditional financing because I already own many rental properties and my DTI was high for the bank, so I purchased these in a business entity with a trusted private investor and was able to refi the 1st property/sell the 2nd property to pay back my investor and ultimately keep the better property for zero money down.

She was told by our local power company, PPL, that our meter base needed to be upgraded, THEN they could put her meter in (there was no meter in her unit because the previous tenant moved and it has been unoccupied for a few months).
