It’s true that many property management companies are now incorporating tenant benefit packages as part of their offerings.

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.  

I'm not sure if its true.

They do not want to reveal the money trail (true source of funds).

I also want to say that if you see this as a true passive investment, you'll be in for a surprise because it's anything but....usually.

What David said is true. 

As a rental strategy for non owner occupants, it absolutely is a fantastic way to generate the highest return, that's true.....but also, and most importantly, your screening has to be on point, and without that, it won't be as effective because one bad roommate can ruin the environment for the other roommate tenants. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: I wonder what the OP's true motivation is for asking this question. 

Based on what you have explained here and assuming that all of it is true, than you really only have two options to get it rented1.

The Kwikset Smartkey system is an accident waiting to happen, the stories of them jamming up when you try to reset them are true, it happened to me.
