I've stayed at some STR's where the electronic door code didn't work and it was a real pain as we stood at the door waiting for help.

I'd like to use electronic locks so I can unlock/lock out from another state...but I'm concerned about people sharing their codes with friends and then not having personal security in their home.

There are probably a lot of good ones, but this is working for us:We are using the "rent-by-room" strategy, and we put electronic locks on all bedroom doors and the front door.

Power of Attorney works.But it also depends on the state you're investing in.For example, if buying in Michigan you can do everything electronically on the buy side.

I did not see any entities named Vaughn Investments & Property Management or any fictitious name filings / "doing business as" Vaughn Investments & Property Management.I would, however, suggest that for any person or business that you are considering doing business with in Missouri that you search their personal name and the name of their business on the state courts' electronic records website: https://www.courts.mo.gov/casenet and clicking "litigant name search." 

Mailers, like a postcard or newsletters, or bulk electronic marketing materials, like email or text messages, allow you to reach even more potential clients than you can through networking alone.Postcards, flyers, and business cards pinned to bulletin boards at coffee shops are all examples of a prospecting tip called cold canvassing.

I am a huge fan of ownerreservations or OwnerRez.They have a lot of features, are reasonably priced and I have been very impressed with their customer service and tech support.I use it to manage all of my automated guest communications, electronically signed rental agreements and a lot more.

Could there be trouble down the line with Venmo or electronic transfers?

Accommodating a tenant, full time, with utilities, water, power, electric, internet, linens, towels, pots, pans, electronics and a clean, safe, functional space is hard enough to do for oneself, let alone for others, often hours or many states away.
