Given where you're looking to buy, however, you may have difficulty finding enough comps to determine this confidently.Another simpler option that I know a lot of landlords employ is putting a max setting on the thermostats.

I do not have any pictures of the properties yet but the owner stated that it has fairly new hardwood floors and the only thing that it needs is a new thermostat.

I have a property with one boiler and one gas meter with six zones each with its own thermostat.

Due to the age of the system (16 years outdoor unit) (11years air handler) and the current EPA phase out of the old r22 refrigerant I recommend the heat pump system be replaced.”Neither company is willing to replace any parts on the unit due to the age and not being able to warranty them.Here is the scope of work for the price of $3750Install one new indoor air Handler with 10kw heat strips,Transition duct work to fit the new air handler,Install outdoor heat pump,Connect all high and low voltage wiring to indoor and outdoor units also to the thermostat,Install in-line PVC P-trapClear PVC drain line,Evacuate system and charge with refrigerant,Check/test system.Install Honewell digital programmable heat pump thermostatComplete system install will come with a 10 year all parts and labor warranty.What do you experts think?

Zanaty inspected whether, as instructed, the thermostat was left at 67 degrees; it was.

A way to remotely control the thermostat or take away their access.

I'm closing on a vacation rental property approx 12 hours from my home and I'm interested in installing both a thermostat and keyless entry lock system which I can control remotely.  

My suggestion is to get a boiler service guy (probably a smaller company)  out and get an estimate of what it will cost to repair the boiler so she has heat.. you don't need it working like new just want it to heat..Then you can make more decisions...OK My knowledge on boilers is not great but basically you have a oil or gas burner, a pump and pump motor,  piping and zone valves, and pressure gauge.... so, thermostat calls for heat then boiler fires up and tries to heat water .... then temp of water high enough to heat with.... then pump kicks on to circulate water to and from boiler...      

Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design. 

It would be tied into the thermostats in the units themselves.
