I am out of state and don't know a lot about the Jacksonville market today.The property also has firepit in the backyard, smart door lock, cameras, thermostat, and router installed.

Some management companies focus only on their own turnkey customers, and generally have a more proactive maintenance programme.

I also could (do not yet) have controllers on the thermostat, lights, etc.

In addition, I'm paying for Home Depot's financing programme whether I use it or not ... ie.

Or your a great programmer, tech engineer, do you want to wake up to inhale the smog, traverse a gauntlet of hobos and feces to buy the morning coffee?

., here at home there is a distinction between leasing a property with an option to purchase and a scheduled/deferred purchase programme and you want to be certain you do not inadvertently mix the two.

For the existing home: I have to install a separate heater that is thermostatically controlled from inside the apartment - I found a nifty little unit that will do the trick for under $300.

Smart locks, cameras, smart thermostats, automated calendar syncing, smart pricing, etc. self management is very doable and much more profitable

My buddy's a programmer based on stuff he learned in the mid 90s that's obsolete now and is still pulling down close to 100k a year.

I'm a part-time investor from Iowa who's made my way to Tokyo as a programmer.
