Hello! We currently have 1 very successful STR in the Dallas area. I've been looking at a few other locations 3-4 hours outside of Dallas that have more relaxed or set-in-place regulations. Two questions for those of ...

Seek guidance from end-users/landlord upon DIY water submetering for triplex unit. Desire to remote monitor and submit monthly billing to each tenant. 

Need a little help on how to subscribe to the thread.
Thanks

Does anyone here monitor the official monthly housing data like existing home sales, building permits, etc, etc?Do you find it useful in any way?Thanks. 

Besides bothering an agent, how can I find out how to determine what areas are "hot" or up and coming? Is there a site that monitors this?

Has anyone done a sub2 USDA loan? Did you have any problems?

What metrics do you use to monitor Airbnb success? We subscribe to Smartbnb which has a ton of data, but we are curious what metrics others track to measure success. Thanks!

Food for thought: Divorce proceedings are public information. The IRS monitors it for signs of tax fraud."Your Honor, this scumbag not only cheated on me, but he cheated on the IRS!"

Has anyone used fake security cameras to deter riffraff?

Okay, this ought to set off some keyword alerts...Can anyone recommend a reliable, investor-friendly contractor or handyman in Richmond, Virginia?  I'm looking to hire for a small-ish rehab job.Thanks!
