However, I may still need to monitor how long a house stays on the market as this can affect my margins.

I was worried that the utilization might have an affect on my score as I am very particular about my personal credit ( 807-830) but I have monitored all 3 credit bureaus and none of them even show these accounts as open accounts.

Requires a great PM and consistent monitoring. 

Either add a flat fee to the rent, or you can buy a cheap (about $100) monitor to monitor their usage and legally charge up to the utility rate.

I have 1 Mil to invest so just weighting my options.

.- New built houses have a comparatively better appreciation opportunity than renovated properties, which can help develop a HELOC option for future investment in more favorable market conditions (lower interest rates and economic outlook)- There will, most likely, be newly built houses that will come on the market in 2023, either directly from builders or banks or agents or TK-providers that were originally built for owner occupancy but buyers no longer qualify or cancel purchase agreements (this could be an interesting investment option that typically did not exist - has to be weighted versus furnishings that are made for tenants which owner occupants probably would not have requested)- Rents have been lagging behind price appreciation.

I say this because one of my str units that has been an str since 1999 somehow did not get a permit even though it had max entries in a weighted lottery.  

Is the Chargepoint Home Flex a type of J1722 outlet that has monitoring too?

Will keep monitoring this thread...

You and the insurance company have a responsibility to monitor the job and hold the contractor accountable.
