I just had a thermostat pulled off the wall by a tenants kids and they fix it the same day i called...no charge.

The zestimates have gotten better since they ran a competition for programmers to find a way to improve the algorithms.

It doesn't have to be icy cold but set the thermostat to 72-74 degrees.

I need to replace it with a thermostat.

They had a small plumbing issue that I had to call a plumber for, and just this week they asked me to replace the thermostat with a programmable one so they don't have to run the A/C all day in the summer and I have to find a handyman to install one.

I have even seen thermostats that can be controlled remotely so to keep tabs on the AC/Heat.

I'm aware that programmers and comp sci is also a very marketable skill, I have no idea on the engineering front.Finance is about solving the unknown by probability, I wouldn't say that one would be doomed to statistical analysis day in and day out, there are hundreds of avenues to take but the key to is understanding the theory behind the analysis.

In my future real estate plans, I want to make my flips as environmentally friendly as possible, and that includes smart technologies (likes Nest thermostats and smoke alarms).

Very easy to customize, lots of "themes" and because it's so widely used you'll be able to find a programmer or designer very easily to make changes and upgrades to your site.

I'm happily employed as a computer programmer / app developer but, that said, my ultimate dream is to provide a second source of income from rentals, enough to not rely on my job.
