Change the batteries on Daylight Savings so you remember when it was last done.

The good news is that the 10 year battery ones are good enough for the rooms.

Of course, there are WAY too may variables to call anything average, but I can easily spend that much on a unit left in good condition$150 - carpet clean$200 - cleaning$100 - yard clean up$400 - paint touch up$150 - misc repairs - HVAC filters, batteries, door stops, etc.This is already $1000, so you see how you can easily reach $900 during a turn over.  

.- We bought extra's of items we know go missing, like steak knives, towels, and other kitchen items our cleaner knows where they are stored- We bought smoke detectors that don't need batteries, again one less thing.- We had leaks on 2 of our 3 faucets, we had a plumber try to tell us they had an O ring and could fix one of them.

Many times I experience trouble with remote key as they require new battery every few weeks.

Remotelocks.com to monitor locks, battery level, and update entry codes.

That's just to break even and it doesn't take into consideration maintenance, battery replacement, and other issues that can change during that time.Solar power is to help people feel good about their environmental footprint and is not what I consider a good investment.

We manage a handful of properties remotely (however most of ours are local to Charlotte market) and we keep actual keys in a lockbox in case batteries die or any malfunction.
