Wait, so politics and name-calling are allowed on BP now? This thread is revolting. There’s a reason news outlets stopped allowing comments after articles (except Fox News of course which has become a cesspool, and if BP turns into that, I’m out).  


From "Boulder" huh. Comes as no surprise how "revolted" you are that you have now learned other people have a different opinion from you being from there. The reason a lot of these outlets stopped comment is purposely trying to silence one side. I didn't know you before, and I won't remember you 20 minutes from now... That said I will pray for you that you make it through this incredibly hard time you are having now that you *GASP* read an opposing viewpoint. 

This type of trolling is exactly the reason we can’t have real political discourse as it relates to real estate on here. Thanks for proving my point.   

Being offended is a choice.. You cant have discorse if one side is perpetually offended and wants the other wide silenced.. Thanks for proving my point! 
Where did I say I was offended? You’re jumping to a lot of conclusions buddy. Assuming I’m offended, assuming you know anything about me and my politics based on where I live, assuming I want to silence people. That’s a lot of mental gymnastics based on a short comment in which I simply pointed out how name-calling is revolting. You’re free to disagree that name calling is revolting if you want. That’s only position I actually presented.  The rest of the stuff you just made up. 

 No you called this thread revolting because it has views you didn't like. I didn't assume anything you are threatening to leave because you can't handle seeing an opposing view. Thats the goal of your overly emotional response is to get people to back down and force admins/moderators or whatever to stop opposing view points thus silencing them. This isn't a new strategy or mental gymnastics its page 1 from the well used playbook. You also actually gave a position on fox news, which immediately revealed your political position. I'm sorry but I just strong enough mentally and emotionally to not let name calling trigger me like it has you. Good luck on getting passed that emotionally and mentally. I wish you well, have a blessed day.

Quote from @Trent Reeve:

I bought my first property in late October and have been going through remodel. I put on a Kwikset Halo which had been working great until about a week ago. I now constantly see "jammed" on the app when it is locked fine. research says that can happen as battery drains (its at 55%).  I didnt get the lithium batteries, so that may help. And I may just have to have the cleaners change the batteries monthly.



what are people's experience with other WIFI smart locks like Schlage Encode? how long do batteries last? 

also, any recommendations for a key-lock box as backup if the smartlock fails? this is a townhome, so hiding spaces are a little limited.


 I use the encode at my personal house and any rentals. It's about once a year replacement maybe a little less.

For me i'd sell the loft take the profits, but not go all in on paying of the house. You want to stay liquid, although 7.25% rate is higher than i'd like to carry, but with the way things are going right now. It's sell, take the 100k profit, your at 360k in the bank, VTSAX or money market and chill for a bit, see how this market/economy thing plays out, rates have to come down no one can afford at these rates, then maybe look to refi and get the rate under 5%.

Also something to think about..... On average over the last 5 to 6 years i' made about 14 or so percent just in S&P index funds... 360k at 14% is 50,400$ or 4200 a month over your number. There are many ways to become financially independent.
