Another vt mutual here....

 @Nick

I am thinking that Wave isn't going to work because it can't subcategorize, i.e. I can' seperate receipts among different properties. Love the scan feature, but I bet others can do as well. 

I Just purchased 4 unit with keyring of 30 keys. Looking at better options because I plan on having many more rentals and want a scalable system:

1. $ Effective labeling of keys. Cheap option for now.

2. $$$ rekey kit and replace almost all locks. This seems $$$ for all new locks.

3. $$$ Smartkey system from Kwikset looks great. Anyone using it? Despite $$$, it appears to make management so much easier.

4. $$$ Get locksmith to rekey - $$$ and the current POS locks aren't worth it. I think each apt has at least 4 different brands, so the keys wouldn't match anyway.

5. $$ DIY rekey - Doesn't each brand have its own rekey kit? I think each apt has at least 4 different brands, so the keys wouldn't match anyway.

6. FREE - Live with it

I am going to label them effectively for now. Anyone use the Kwikset smartKey? Any recommendations on best way to manage?

Hi. I started REIA to get us togther. I turned it over some good folks. They are at:

I am in Rochester and will hold another get together in Rochester, as I never seem to make the other one :)

Lets meet for coffee etc., maybe at Magrillas or the Garage.

I am looking for understanding of setting up easy accounting. (looking at Wave)

I can help with good contractors (roofing, tree removal, driveway all done in last weeks)

@Liz Murphy Does a squatter get the same rights as a tenant re: eviction?  I see a scenario where you start eviction and start small claims for back rent aka $6k or other large value, and then you can go to them and say "wow, you are in trouble. I can drop the $6k if you dissapear in the next 7 days"

Don't let this mess with your life. Get a good lawyer and get it done and behind you. 

Just found it.  Message me if you do it again. 

If you are doing these for legal reasons, quote three sources. (although I agree Rentometer is probably fine for reality purposes)

Is Rochester NH too far away?

Thanks for updating the post. Look forward to seeing everyone again.
