Don't want to give out false information but I am in a similar situation right now and am curious how it is going to work in the coming years.

They monitor the meters remotely, and send you and the resident a statement on the 1st of each month with the resident’s W/S/T usage and charges for the previous month.I use their Model TSN1 - PVC Meter which currently costs $95 each.Each building also needs at least one router which currently costs $195.If you have your meters in a centralized location, you only need one router but if the meters are scattered throughout the building, you may need multiple .There’s a monthly $6 fee per unit for the monitoring and invoicing.If you decide to give it a try, feel free to use discount code msam10 for a 10% discount.If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me directly.And if you need to buy a building to put Sub-Meters in, I’m happy to chat about that as well 🙂

I looked for the answer to this question in the various threads but could find an unequivocal response, so for the avoidance on any doubt here is my situation/question. 

Most are 18 month max you may not leave enough time to finish the build or have to worry about doing 1 or multiple extensions. 

Hello everyone, I am looking for a lender to provide a second lien on multiple single family rentals, but which is not based on personal income.

Nope, it could be better, but it depends on your situation.

Are you observing a similar situation?

I'm willing to put in the "sweaty equity" and am very eager, but are partnerships in these situations possible beyond my own network?

This situation surely would have benefitted from this indeed.All the best!

Title basically describes my situation, but I want to get involved in real estate investing or wholesaling.
