I had fancy UC Berkeley online library access, so I did what anyone in that position would do and read all the peer reviewed academic literature on bed bugs written by people with Ph.D after their name (including pre-modern remedies that worked & still work), and over the course of a few months eliminated the infestation myself - chemical free.

@Christian WamsleyWith technology anything is possible.

O.K. This is my 2nd "What Tech" do you use question and like last time feedback is appreciated.We've just closed a 300+ unit Class A, M.F. & as I am sure many of you know, the closing process after the PSA is sign...

I worry because quite frankly our tenant pool isn't one that adapts super well to change, they aren't that technologically inclined (online / app = payments - lol - some of these folks are depositing cash into our bank accounts on the 5th) and I worry that this change will disrupt, cause move-outs, more fees, etc...Thanks in advance for your insight, heckles and advice.

No matter how you cut it sales agents and appraisers are in a cyclical business with numerous ups and downs as well as external threats from AI and other technology advancements.

I'm an early retiree from the technology industry starting to dabble in real estate north of Boston. 

With double deposit escrow smart contract, the deposit account is only generated between the buyer and seller, and is only controlled by them.I understand that this new technology has gotten a bad rep from criminals evading taxes and rampant speculation from others, but it's simply an unfortunate side effect of any newly emerging technology.

@Jay Hinrichs this is the modern day "the real winner was the guy selling the pick axes during the gold rush" well done!

Main reasons are the technology, learn/do/manage from anywhere in the world, powerful lead generation program, good commission splits, equity program in the company.
