If you want to do it right, get some decent equipment and train yourself.

Literally, this is the only time in my entire life/career that I've encountered this: two identical credit reports.

Safety equipment- I provide only what building code requires.

Have you done any research to make sure your identity wasn't also stolen by this tenant?

They will inspect cars, motorcycles, boats, rvs, heavy equipment, and most importantly, real estate.

What if we shook hands and agreed to the following (some specifics can be modified):I fund his deals out of my 401k, and he funds my deals out of HIS 401kWe offer each other identical terms and the same amount of money (say, $50K)Private, secured notes by the real estate that is being improvedWe should probably both do our due diligence on each other's deals, to make sure there is sufficient equity to get paid back on our loansTerms such as: interest only, 6%, one year balloon, to be re-paid upon sale or re-finance of the property, with option to extend/re-finance after one year (in case the unexpected happens).  

Considering you may have to lower rents to accomplish change over what would your monthly savings look like and what would be the cost to convert to separate meters.When you look at it long term, considering all equipment necessary with your plan there will be life expectancy and upkeep costs that will add to your initial $32K investment.

With that said, I have yet to get a utility bill that proves significant month to month energy savings (it’s been 3 months) and nothing beats diligent tenants and good relationships with them.If the equipment cost comes down/the solutions become smarter I think this could be a great option.

I 10000000% agree with you on notary being a completely antiquated and useless system to be using when we have biometrics and technology to be used to verify identity in seconds.

Two of them completed the app through MySmartMove, but for one, it's showing "Pending Identity Verification".
