I will replace my pipes with PEX, properly insulate pipes, have the thermostat set to a certain temperature when a property is vacant, require tenants to have renters insurance, and send a reminder to keep water dripping in cold temperatures. lol is it odd that I am actually excited about working on this project instead of experiencing sleepless nights (*knocks on wood) ...

I've seen companies lay off thousands of engineers and programmers at a time, but no one walks away from infrastructure.Amazon announced three more centers in Las Vegas.

Since it is programmable one can also make payments with it.

Patronize some of the tenants and see if you see water stains on the ceilings, take a look at their thermostats to see if they look like they're from the 80's, see if you see fire suppression systems, look at the parking lot condition, outdoor lights (if they are still the metal halide then you'll want to replace them with LED). 

He's a programmer and smart guy so he said lets sit down and look over the contract line by line.   

A friend had mentioned installing a thermostat by Honeywell that has 4 - 6 sensors that report back to the thermostat to then try and average the units and come up with the appropriate thermostat setting to keep all units where they should be.

I also have the Nest thermostat

Even a company that doesn't give the stock option, starting salary these days is 140k-160k for junior-level programmer/tester.

Yes the people to sell me are living in my country but they didnt say me that they have founded that llc based on an internet training programm that is - in my opinion - after watching it not serious.

@Justin BrickmanMy recommendation would be to get WiFi thermostats and control the temperature remotely.Depending on state solar does not provide a significant ROI
