Hello BP,I've been dealing with a massive headache for the past 10 days and I'd like to get some of you guys' opinion about thermostats in rental properties and how you do it.Obviously, our number #1 priority as landlords is to make managing our properties as seamless as possible in order to continue acquiring and growing our portfolio.A couple months ago, the A/C in one my rental properties stopped working and I used that opportunity to swap out the old ugly thermostat for a "super cool" Google Nest thermostat that my electricity provider had been hammering me about.

today’s lazy millenal investors won’t take the time or effort to physically write these out , get in their car ,and drive around at night hammering these to poles and talking with people who call them .

We hire and train cold callers at REVA, most all have call center experience and are used to hammering lists.

When a unit goes vacant, we immediatelyre-key the tenant setting to our "hammer key" which is shaped like a hammer and all of our regular trades have our hammer key.

People are nice and friendly until they loose money and feel like they got hammered, then they sue....and then you have to spend even more time and money and still don't get paid.One thing you might consider is just pairing them up and giving them a few tips.   

If you enjoy managing rehabs, picking contractors, and swinging hammers it's probably not for you.

If all you have in your tool box is a hammer everything will look like a nail !!
