Has anyone used this device or have another recommendation to monitor water usage? 

This new business would essentially take an empty shell (currently just an office with a bathroom) and turn it into a functional shop by adding plumbing, espresso bar, countertops, etc.

If your rental gets a lot of guests, a hard-shell tub might be more durable in the long run.

Next StepsContact 311 or the Chicago Department of Water Management to request a meter recheck or usage audit.If the new bills seem drastically off, request a review for billing errors or adjustments.Consider installing low-flow fixtures or monitoring usage with a smart meter device to ensure there’s no hidden waste.It’s frustrating, but you’re not alone in this!

I do not know the best category to put this, so please point me in the right directionThere are noise cancelling devices that are useful to balance the outside noise.

@Joseph Fenner our site is responsive so any tool or part of the site you are using on your computer should look and work just as well on your mobile device.

With SFH you have to deal with exterior items to a property and more systems compared to a condo which you just have your shell, but you have to deal with an association.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!
