Hey BP community, I'm looking for some advice on managing homes with smart home Technology. I live in a ski town and many people provide management services for second home owners. People stay on retainer to provide weekly, monthly checks of the house, as well as manage contractors for services like snow removal, cleaning, and remodel projects. Much of the routine work like checking weekly on the property can all be monitored through google home or other software, i simply don't know any platform that manages multiple houses. How can I see 20 or 30 houses and manage lights, thermostats, gaurage doors all from one place. any info would be greatly appreciated. 

thanks ya'll

Hey BP Family. I'm looking for some advice from some investors who deal with High Property Taxes. I'm a self employed carpenter who, After 12 years out west (CO,CA,WA,OR) have decided to move back to New England where family is close and houses are More reasonable. Given my trade, the easiest barrier to entry at first Will Be "house hacking" with FHA loans and then moving to out of state investing as cash, skills, and confidence grows. New Hamphsire seams like a state with overall cheap cost of living with it's no sales or income taxes. How, though, do investors navigate property taxes? Do investors look for strictly multi-Family homes? How does property taxes affect BRRR's? I am nervous to increase the value of my home at the expense of a higher tax and diminished cash flow. thanks:)
