This allows entry without a key, and allows me to change the lock as needed if I don't want someone in there.As an agent, I provide contacts to my clients who will do these things, and occasionally I will do favors for past clients who need someone to open the door or quickly supervise an appointment; of course not all agents will do this or for free.  

The market still has relatively low entry points compared to other major cities, making it possible to find multifamily properties like duplexes and triplexes in the price range you’re targeting.

You need the right solution for your day to day operations.Your need is to make the management side easy, so that you can analysis your accounting, business and management all with only one entry.

Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

That would be the minimum entry fee I would think.

(the messaging/CRM platform, not the 1980's video game)I'm curious to hear of any recently experiences with it.... is it worth the high cost of entry?

It’s inexpensive to provide but can make a big impact.Comfortable Bedding: Investing in high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens improves the guest experience and leads to better reviews, which can boost occupancy rates.Smart TV or Streaming Services: Offering Netflix, Hulu, or similar services is a low-cost way to enhance guest entertainment and stay competitive.Fully Stocked Kitchen: A well-equipped kitchen with basic appliances and utensils appeals to families and long-term guests, saving them money on dining out.Dedicated Workspace: If your property caters to remote workers, adding a small desk and ergonomic chair can set your listing apart.Outdoor Spaces: If your property allows, an outdoor seating area, fire pit, or hot tub can significantly increase your nightly rate and attract more bookings.Energy-Efficient Features: Guests appreciate eco-friendly options like LED lighting, smart thermostats, or solar panels, especially in eco-conscious markets.Keyless Entry: A smart lock is a relatively small investment but offers convenience and security, which many guests value.If you’re deciding on amenities to add, it’s always a good idea to research your local market.

We already paid them a pretty sizeable entry fee ($30k) to cover some of their equity and debt in another project.

The tenant pool can be lower end in Winnipeg but if you invest in the right areas it will often qualify for CMHC financing in terms of affordability. 

It's still an expensive entry point.
