I tap into that equity pretty frequently to use as capital for my flipping business. 

I guess around here this has been happening quite frequently? 

Since most of the properties I own had tenants in them when purchased I get the same pushback frequently. 

I have been browsing post on the Coronavirus and I frequently see comments and posts claiming the government is not protecting landlords and only seek to guard the rights of tenants.

I agree that roof and exterior maintenance isn't something that comes up frequently.

Also, people frequently post for feedback on their analysis. 

Higher risk the neighborhood is the more frequently it's going to happen.

You seem to assumption that live data = frequent continues updating by the PM, perhaps some landlords might misconstrued it to be so, I would think the PM should inform them of our best to us it, and the frequency or interval of updates  should remain the same as long as they keeps a good workflow going.I do agree with you that for SF this might not be relevant, but for those of us with multiple MF properties it is of great relevance to be able to have access to this data for analysis and insight into how the various properties are doing.

How do you communicate with owners, how frequently, and what about?

@Michael Baum I'm very happy with the SmartThings hub (even before I figured out why it was disconnecting so frequently)!
