I came across a meetup happening tomorrow (Wed Jul 20) in Hasbrouck Heights - more of an 'expo' of vendors, but near you so thought you might want to check it out as well! 

Just go to one of the REIA meetings and you'll see that the vast majority of people there are either vendors or wholesalers.

My construction crew and material vendor network are in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.

Do you have regular vendors and do you bid out major repairs or capital expenditures?

MAINTENANCE Vendor Contracts Review Current Property Management Agreement Laundry Leases Security Service Reports Elevator Certificates Utility bills for each meter and each service - including acct.

Capital one online was a little harder to set up and took longer but they ACH pay one of my vendors quicker and without charge.

The Fannie, and Freddie vendors even winterize properties with no copper lines to protect fixtures as much as possible.

Austin was like a safe haven beckoning (it was also where I was born and spent part of my childhood), a place where I could easily find work and be comfortable.I did look into real estate around 2005-2007 in SoCal and almost got involved with a vendor from Marshall Reddick, but I'm glad I didn't, since that organization went bankrupt and many members ended up losing money in investments out of state during the collapse in 2007-2009.Anyways, I had a hard time getting any traction in LA due to the unstable job market, generally stressful lifestyle and high cost of rent, which made it difficult to save significant money. 

So a pipe presumably gets buried in the easement area and the vendor/successors retain the right to enter upon that area (the dimensions of this area should be spelled out in the agreement) in order to repair and maintain the pipeline, and you can't build on top of that area.

There are some vendors that I could recommend to implement a sub-metering system.
