We make sure the airbnb guest codes don't go live until our exact check-in time each day unless the guests specifically request an early check-in - this makes sure our guests don't try to get in early before the apartment is ready.My only knock on the locks is that their wifi range isn't super robust, especially if the wifi signal has to travel vertically between floors to get from the router to the lock.

Floor is just painted concrete, and that includes the 300sf which the county assessor counts as fully finished.I'm reading that DSCR rent appraisers may not count partially finished space at all, and count fully finished basement space at only 25% of the rent of main floor space in the same house.What are your thoughts--is this how it typically is for DSCR rent appraisals?
