Hi Giovanni,
Thank you for the reply. I'm sorry that I forgot to specify, we are not looking in the City of Pontiac either. That is the only other area outside of Royal Oak Township that I should have mentioned.
Thanks!

Hi Nicholas and Sydney!
Welcome to BP. I am currently living in Los Osos and manage an out-of-state portfolio of single family homes. I am also studying up for my California RE license and look forward to getting involved in RE locally here in SLO county.
Nice to meet you both and I hope you find as much value from this community as I have.

Post: The right thermostat when you are paying for heat?

There are a couple choices. In a duplex I once managed I installed a programmable thermostat for my tenant and trusted them enough to use it, and they did, and we were all happy.
If I didnt trust them as much, I may have gone with this one:

I would also send them a letter with the actual data, and show them how much the rent will increase if usage is not controlled. This worked for me when I had a tenant in the same duplex who began collecting fishtanks where I paid both water and electrical.

@Dean Weltman This is where we both absorb the same facts, then agree to disagree.

Hi,
I am looking for 2-3 reccomendations for GC's you have personally worked with in the area, we are landlords who are looking at purchasing less-than-turnkey properties for less-than-retail prices and are shopping for GC's to partner with.
Thanks
