Handling inspections/utilities when out of state?
Hello, I am curious how out of state investors handle things like having utilities turned on for inspections when someone must physically be there?
I currently invest in Ohio and have a deal pending. I had to turn on the utilities for the inspection and both the gas & water co require someone be there. Luckily, I have family close by that will help but I want to ramp up my purchases and hate to always be asking family. Eventually, I would like to also start investing in other states and would like a better system in places.
I have a management co there but the house won't be under contract with them until closed and rehabbed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
