Have that fearful tenant hop on their smart phone and use their 5G or Fiber wi-fi connection to livestream you (and inspector if relevant) as they walk through the property and look at what you need them to look at.

We're trying to get them on board with bill pay/smart phone transfers - but as they're all inherited tenants we didn't screen them and the previous owner was fine with pony express.

I have all 3 books sold on BiggerPockets.com and have been reading the Free Ultimate Beginners Guide, which I have downloaded on both my smartphone and Laptop, through the Kindle app.

I now have a smartphone and will hopefully be able to monitor the forums from the mobile app enhancing my overall experience in Bigger Pockets.

But since short-stay are now main stream and there are smartphone apps to manage the bookings, a landlord has a good shot at netting more as a short stay provider than as a traditional 1-year lease.However landlords can't act like home sharer and make an above baseline profit.

Im working by smartphone until my laptop and printer fax blah blah arrives.

The HVAC guy gave me a few options:1) Bare Bones $5000 - It will keep the place cool for roughly 8 years2) "Old Reliable" $7,500 - It cools, and is known for 15+ year life and a 10 year warranty3) Bells & Whistles $10,000 - High efficiency (we won't pay the electricity on this place), Variable speed comfort (it basically can adjust how much air it blows so that your house is at a constant temperature), can be connected with the "smart home" system so I can change the temperature or lock/unlock the door from my smartphone, have security cameras, connect the smoke detector etc.
