You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

The pest problem is most likely due to the tenant keeping their dwelling in an unclean condition.

And basically anything that rings a bell would be helpful.The reason i am asking about this is i am trying to understand if there is a market need (pain) to make revenue streams more predictable and to insure away such risks.

This could be a way to guarantee a steady stream of income while still working on higher-margin deals separately.

.- Your experience with your properties which do or don't have acreage / views / streams / ponds- Your experience with access to good labor (cleaning & handyfolks)- Your experience with the renters.

That is their dwelling place and if something goes wrong with the smart lock, then they are locked out of the house.

They will outlast most stick-built dwellings with a fraction of the maintenance and have a lifetime guarantee to back them up.

Also, an income stream is something that is likely to appeal especially to folks approaching (or already in) retirement.  

I found the county criteria which reads as:"Property must be minimum of 1 acre, meet the underlying zone district, have adequate parking, meet the requirements set for by the Wildfire Hazard Overlay District, have valid water and sanitation, have legal access, use the primary dwelling unit, be free of violations, and have no substantial detriment to the intent of the Zoning Resolution."

The problem with these small deals is that there no money in it for the Lender or the investors who buy the payment streams.
