I don’t see a similarity in the way you are currently thinking (from the voice in your posts) to the way I was thinking when I got started, other than the type of real estate you are thinking about buying.

At that point, you have to turn off those voices in your head and just go for it.

At some point, the voice of reason must prevail, and Boston has just become out of reach.

Even in their own post they say that it does happen but then turn negative and act like only they can do it with their big deep pockets(said in my best bully voice).

Interested in this one more than Nest.Regarding WiFi, if you have Verizon, you can add-on their Home Internet and Phone device (MyFi), which runs off your voice and data plan.

Have you looked at Google Voice?

You've done everything humanly possible to make the inevitable relocation easy for the squatter but they can't "hear" because the voices in their head tells them to dig their heels in and you'll go away.Squatters are often mentally and emotionally damaged persons.

For just two properties, I think Google Voice is your answer.

Check out Google Voice.

I use google voice for incoming calls but so far I am not impressed with its transcribing function, nor its reliability.
