@John Clark, so you think the City of Chicago, once mechanical meters were manufactured decided, "Ya know, we could get these meters, but let's wait another 50 years because I think someone is going to invent something called Radio Frequency, and someone else will design a water meter that uses this technology."

. - Running individual gas meters and providing per-unit forced air was our ideal option, but we went against it for the following reasons: 1) the logistics of running new gas lines to each unit would be difficult and expensive; 2) that coupled with the fact that it was only a partial renovation of the building (not all the units at once) added to the difficulty; 3)given the time frame we had to complete the units we were working on, it was too risky to bring in the logistics of city and utility collaboration and inspections, to stay on schedule. - Regarding baseboard heat: given the upgrades we were doing (not fully high end but still nice), baseboard didn't provide the "amenities" we wanted the tenants to have e.g. air conditioning, programable thermostat, etc. - What we ended up doing was an electric forced air system.

It is pretty standard that they will expect you to pay your own E and O, but don't let them charge you for their substandard training and for "technology" fees.

With that said I'm concerned about pressing the envelope to the point that they cant afford and would have even more difficulty collecting electric and water payments.  

If you have any difficulty let me know and I'll provide some more assistance.

Don�t withhold information from the support team; every bit of knowledge is crucial to identifying the source of difficulty.

Since I often post a video walk-through and a ton of quality pictures, I'm not willing to even conduct a showing (wasting my time) if the person is not ready, willing, and able to rent the property.Although I am considering trying the self-showing technology on my next property, which would cause some changes to this process.J.T.

Huntsville folks,I bought my first SFR this fall, and it's been great so far, but I'm having some difficulty figuring out the best way ahead for my second deal. 

I've looked on redfin and other like it and I'm having difficulty finding anything.
