If the place looks rough, they are going to look closer.I always bring my tool bag and a couple of extra smoke detectors and batteries because I don't know if the city actually changes their rules that often or if it's just inspectors that change what they think the rules are but it seems locations are always changing-inside the bedrooms, outside the bedrooms, by the kitchen, nowhere near the kitchen etc.

I don't trust tenants to do any repairs other than the following:- change batteries smoke detectors- change out air filters (show them how to do this and provide one so they know what size to buy)- change out simple light bulbs (if the job requires an extended ladder such as bulbs for vaulted ceilings bill them for the bulbs but do it yourself)State these repairs as tenant responsibility in your lease.

It’ll go from Summerville to The Battery through Rivers Ave, so that will help.

We charge our clients just $55 for each of the inspections and it includes all the necessary small parts (air filters, batteries, etc).

It's fine to get tenants to pay to replace furnace filters and batteries in smoke alarms, but I've never heard of having them replace aerators and shower heads.I know it is different in the US, but in Canada it is easy to deposit checks without having to go into the bank.

You can buy a 12 pack of 9 volt batteries on Amazon for $18.

Also, if you don't already have a separate power wire coming from the furnace you will need to run a wire, or use a battery-operated thermostat and now your get calls from your tenants because the battery is dead.

Invest in mining.. precious stones and natural resources for EV Batteries 

The biggest issues with Vivint is the maintenance of the batteries.

The lock itself will still work via batteries if there is a power outage or the wifi disconnects, you just wont have app features until power or wifi has been reconnected.
