Showing prospective tenants the property remotely
My current tenant is about to move out, and I'm thinking about ways to make the transition to find the next tenant smoother. Some questions:
1. One thought I had was to install a keypad lock. I'm a little confused on which one I would get. Since my tenant will be responsible for their own internet service, I can't rely on a WiFi-enabled one, like August. Is there such a keypad where I can generate temporary passcodes *without* internet access? (see my use case below).
2. Anyone ever schedule a "remote viewing"? My idea is to have them book a time when we're both free, and I would give him a temporary code to a keypad lock. Then we would FaceTime or some other means, and I could remotely meet him and answer his questions while he is free to wander about the house by himself. Is this a bad idea?
Any tips much appreciated.
