Smart locks connected to wifi? 

I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.

Hi Kevin,Welcome to the Forums.Best of luck locking in that first deal!

In our largest listing, we have a triplex with a total of 11 beds and 10 baths with each bedroom set up to be potentially rented by the room (electronic lock on each bedroom door, and most with a private bathroom).

To get consensus on anything in an association, well with just 4 dead-lock would be the norm.

Few things to lock down:•They need to be full service with a legit staff—techs on payroll, leasing agents, someone handling PR when tenants get weird.

It's a 3 bedroom house and we plan to use technology such as a smart lock, WIFI exterior cameras, and a smart thermostat.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer here. i have clients call me asking to lock in the maximum buy-down we can possibly allow; and others who think its a terrible idea. as other's have mentioned, i would first look at your recoupment period.

Another option is to put an electronic deadbolt on the front door with a non-locking door knob.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.
