Is showing a rental home with WiFi smart locks and webcams a bad idea?
I am an out-of-state investor living 1500 miles away from three properties that I am currently renovating to rent or to flip. I am considering the pros/cons of doing this without a property manager or real estate agent. It is a bad idea to screen and then show homes with a smart lock code that I can change? If I use inside webcams, ring cams, and smart locks, is this a possible way to show homes to prospective renters or buyers? What do you think?
