Change orders are going to happen, but by needing approval from you before they move forward, this allows you to control expenses better and/or make adjustments in the SOW so that you can stay on track and on budget.

Keep in mind rent control is 1 thing, its a laws for existing tenants but some city's like Newark are so strict that you must get approval for what rent can be even after a tenant moves out and new ones move in. 

@Kasey Hardt very interesting,  didn't realize this was a pattern but even I've got friends that are getting recruited to the area for medical device startups etc, so could be a very interesting trend to watch.

What about maintenance if a device breaks?

The next option is to get the device (you can get on Amazon) that shows the meter for what one unit is pulling versus the other.

I went back to the webinar through a different device and saw that they had also added a link to access his Gator Method for $2,997.

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.  

I started my professional career in medical device sales and still do that full-time.

My STR had 15 Mbps, and I could stream Netflix on four TVs and a mobile device without any lag.

It might be worth talking to a lawyer but not sure if it's small claims or worth it.Also, you might already have all of these things but for future prevention:- smart thermostat (so you receive alerts when the inside temperature dips below whatever preset you have)- Minut (or similar device) would also alert you to the inside (and outside) temperatures; for example, I have 2 devices inside the house and outside on the hot tub deck.
