But Hostaway now has their own easy to use smart lock feature.

However I got this property locked in a fixed 30 year 3.5 rate and it hurts saying goodbye to it.

It may make you feel warm and fuzzy that you have them "locked in" for 2 years, but its an illusion.

What's important is secondary security locks, AC/Heat for all living sq footage, all working outlets, damp rated bulbs in bathrooms, working appliances, fire extinguishers, we do 1 year worth of monthly air filters, which cost way less than ceiling fans, working fire alarms, etc.Best wishes, good luck.

I have used this statement several timesI knock on the door and can tell if they approach the door, I say very loud that" I am here to change locks and I will give you 10 minuets to grab your stuff and vacate or I will call the police"I have always had success doing this.  !

@Jake Wosick make sure you let us know if you locked this deal in.

Based on conversations, CRE could be a great option long term but I may be locked into a lower income in the short term and the potential for earnings are more dependent on my production in the residential space.

Whichever PMS (property management software) that you use make sure it integrates with your lock.

In other words, guests will only be able to control the AC between your locked min/max temperatures, but they would not be able to change to heat mode.

Lock the seller up on a contract and then take it to a bank?
