Hello all investors large and small, I am here on this awesome site to start my RE journey by listening to the great podcasrs and reading through the forums daily.

I have tried reaching out to utility management companies but have not had success as it seems most of them are either area specific or only except large portfolios.Does anyone have a good solution to the time consuming task of managing their utilities when they purchase, sell or rent their properties out?

Some markets can have a large numbers of new build, A type communities that would create over supply in that space. that situation could affect the rental pricing between A and B type. while C type will keep servicing the Blue Collar demographic. 

So that's just coming from people talking to me that I've partnered with (not on large MF though).

And be ready to scale in oos In a reasonable timeframe Having one or two properties is not practical.

1) Laws of your state2) The terms of the contract you have with your management companyI can tell you anecdotally, one of my property managers had to pay a pretty large settlement recently on a property with black mold.

They stay in one of my 22 STRs to work on large erections of steel at a petrochemical refinery and associated nitrogen fertilizer facility for short term jobs. 

The garage is large and is currently divided into two sections.  

Someone was living in it as it was foreclosed per the city and a neighbor but they must not have had any claim to the property and let it get foreclosed.It is a large house and an easy duplex conversion so that is my current plan. 

So such houses prices at 40k do trade at a large discount.
