I have been signing documents electronically for real estate transactions for a few years.

Their "research" on past permits is probably only electronic and not all the City Records are in electronic form so they might be incomplete.

I sign electronically dozens of times online.

Also, remember that medical information cannot be relayed via electronic communications under new medical records laws.

They may subscribe to services to access assessment info or to download deeds electronically. 

I'm in the middle of rehabbing my Quadplex and am considering installing electronic keyless entry locks.

They even have a way for your tenants to pay rent electronically and automatically credit each payment to the right property.

I would say to just look out for each bank's minimum balance requirement, as well as the threshold balance requirements before they are able to waive transaction fees on incoming wires, electronic transfers etc.

Things I have left to do: 1) sign up for a service that electronically accepts signatures for rental agreement that will be required to stay 2) accept payment for direct bookings 3) hold deposits for direct bookings 4) create direct booking website 5) calendar that syncs all the travel booking sitesQuestions: 1) For those of you who are savvy with wordpress.org, what theme or plugin did you use for your booking website (I'm not super tech savvy, but in my blogging/podcasting days, I hosted my website with siteground which comes with ability to host multiple websites.

Has a physical override like a key in case the electronic lock fails so someone can get in without breaking a window or something.At the moment I have a Schlage Connect lock which integrates itself with a zwave hub.
