What about temps?

I setup a warning if the Sensi sees humidity above a certain point and temps out of the norm and that is about it.

I’m considering just replacing these units with dual heat/ac units and restrict the heat temp of the gas heat.

STR is a temp bridge as I figure out the long term strategy, which may involve Idaho or Arizona, or other cities in WA that aren't as burdensome as Seattle.

It will be a rental, so it will need to hold up well or to be redone easily and cheaply. it is is a desert area that has temp extremes.Any ideas for me?

I live in Tempe, and my life (including my son's school) is here, so that'd be a long daily trek for me.- The benefit of living in it vs. renting it out would be the primary residence loan, which means personally qualifying.

It monitors temp, humidity, light, sound and movement.

I am wondering what are some good locations in the valley (Tempe Vs Gilbert Vs Scottsdale Vs Phoenix) for Rental Investment (200-350k)?

At this point I'm reading and investigating every property I can find in the Scottsdale/Phoenix/Tempe markets.Thanks and I look forward to connecting with you!
