The benefit of the outskirts of town: easier to find new place to build, land is cheaper, still in the path of gentrification and appreciation due to proximity to SLC market, no HOA to deal with, much less permitting and red tape, and these lead to new builds, which has the benefits of maximizing costseg and minimizing maintenance and repairs because the build is brand new.Happy to discuss by videoconference if you want, and I can pay you for your time. 

I'm an investor in the area as well, and help my clients invest here too!

So, I wonder if one could convince them to connect it and monitor it . . . it gives feedback on their water usage so they may be interested in knowing since they are paying the water bill. 

I'm not trying to pay for what I don't need but I would like to be fully covered for an affordable price. 

It is a full-time deal, and you will need to build your pipeline of clients for the next 2 years.

I have a duplex in Ohio where the tenants pay $1500/mo; I pay mortgage & utilities, about $800/mo.

Since it is vacant, this would probably work best with a conventional loan, and the proceeds would be used to pay for the reno + buyout. 

I would be willing to either pay for the access, or work out a deal where I could throw leads your way since I will be sending out a significant amount of letters.If this is breaking any forum or Realtor rules, please let me know, and I will remove it.Thanks

Do you get a loan servicing company or does the buyer pay you directly?

I like it because it is free, the tenants can pay online, it is automated, etc.
