For example if it is the old listing was titled " The Pirates Crow's Nest"  You  should be able to use that or a variation close to it.Also, the owner should be able to provide you all the names and contact information of past guests that you can use to reach out and introduce yourself to them.  

I've got 3 properties and I use the Nest ecosystem from Google. 

Sorry, Nest Yale locks...

If $25k is most of your nest egg you need to save more, if $25k is what you want to invest, you might be able to partner with someone but typically 50k+ is what we have seen in the past where you might get to get your feet wet on a deal.

We currently have a nest that faces the stairs that lead up to the doors so we can see who comes and goes to either unit.We just signed a new lease with a tenant and they asked about installing their own nest or ring doorbell. 

Before branching into a partnership I would A) Build your funds, work on having a nest egg B) Build your credit C) Consider doing a house hack.

Conveniently situated less than 10 minutes from the resort for great skiing and mountain biking, and less than 10 minutes from Eagle Nest Lake for fantastic fishing and boating.

Age is certainly a factor and things do happen in real estate....You dont have a lot of time to make up should your entire retirement nest be at risk...

new floors, new backsplash, paint, landscaping, new faucets, nest thermostat, built in ceiling speakers, new lights throughout the house.

Google Home with Nest Thermostat:  App is clunky so I'm not a huge fan of it but it does the job, saves me a lot on electricity bills and is good enough once you get the hang of it.
