I appreciate the insights on how your LLC was able to gain traction with that partner bank (through the personal guarantees and your pre-existing relationship with it).

I have reached out to many and scoured the listings without any real traction yet, so I would like to go with a personal referral.

Still no traction on my question...I really do want advice as we are looking at this exact scenario.  

@Tim Schroeder After you've set up the hub, it will discover any ZWave devices in the vicinity.

@Eve Mahoney - My experience is the following:(1) Zillow and affiliates -- Most traction in A and B class neighborhoods.

**Just a friendly life hack: If you charge you phone in your car, rather than in your home, you will save on average $50-$100 depending on how many devices you own and have at your home.

I think you'll agree after studying the matter more carefully that your 401(k) is just a Wall Street device to steal money out of your pocket.I would actually stick with the rent. $500/month is very nice for the area.

There's also a variety of cleaners and power devices to clean tile and grout.

If you are managing a property remotely, and you want to have someone install a smart device for you, what are the logistics around that?

@Adam Rose Your best bet is to grab a hotspot device from a mobile provider (the cost is anywhere from $10 to $25) per month and use a smart lock, like this one.
