We originally hired him to do some random "handyman" things and he'd just send us an invoice for what we owed him every few weeks.....big mistake leaving contractors to their own devices. 

The challenge with these locks is that if you need to terminate or remove a code after the fact you’re SOL: the code duration or use case is locked in and since the “locks don’t talk” back to the Internet there’s no way to remove/change the code after the fact unless you use their local USB stick which acts, similar to a ZWave/wireless SmartHub to sync codes back and forth to another device (like your PC or phone) through the Internet to their system. 

I was hoping there were devices that I could use to track water usage and include the charges in their rent.

The law was written to allow you to transfer to your own trust as an asset protection device, and it is a carve out in the Garin St Germain act of 1982, that created the due on sale clause in the first place. 

Looking for a device, maybe digital that quickly or automatically measures the bowing.

I just received a quote from the termite company and it includes a $1,000+ one-time up front installation fee for some sort of device that prevents them on an ongoing basis, and then like a $200-ish per quarter charge on each property for ongoing treatment.~$200 per quarter per property sounds about right to me for termite control, but I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around a $7,000+ up front cost to install their system at all of them.

If the comps are dissimilar to the subject, it may get denied.

@Tim Walker the Arlo VML4030 is an awesome device powered by 4g LTE.

When I don't answer it goes to my Google Voice Mail and they transcribe the message and I get the MSG on my phone to listen to.Works well and has the ability to use other VOIP services as well but GV is free :P  The device was like $35 bucks on ebay.Jeff V
