People were very upset as you can imagine.We have 2 active bald eagle nests within a mile of our house.

I have a Nest thermostat in my short term rental cabin in North Georgia.

The drawback is its $150 bucks and I don't want to turn-off a potential buyer that is not "techie".I know its a minor detail, but what do you guys think - to Nest or not to Nest?

Our utility company which covers Nest development office suggests better insulation, furnace and air duct leakage as most household, apartments have an appreciable leakage issue.

I want my partner to feel ownership while he is building his nest egg. 

So I've always loved the idea of the Nest thermostat since I pay for gas in my two family, and now that they have come out with this new cheaper "Thermostat E" I'm even more interested.

I would rather just have the tenant pay the utilities and deal with their preference of temp, and with the utility bill.Another option - however more obscure and way more expensive would be to use something like the Nest thermostat that allows you to remotely control the termp.  

Look into the nest thermostat.

With that clarification @Ezra Simon this makes more sense.A family friend - more of a private lender - has offered their nest egg for you to help manage and grow and they want you to watch that nest without other distractions.  

Only take the rehab amt. in a cash out loan ($55k) and a.) use the rental income to pay the loan amt or b.) add to the 2nd property nest egg3.
