Non Wifi Smart Door Lock for Out of State investment property
17 June 2024 | 4 replies
The wifi is what will allow you to access the door remotely.If you don't want wifi on it, Then you can still get a smart lock you'll just need to pre-program several different codes into it, and then give out those codes appropriately but you'd need to be on site at the door itself to program initially or update it.From personal experience I find the touch screen or wifi locks to be complete POS's that are not reliable and the battery does not last long.

talk to the dept of health first (records requirements etc), establish what upgrades/maintenance required, line up a reliable repair/handyman/type person, consult lawyer, and then make your offer, see if you can buy the land it's on via lot line adjustment (ideal scenario). a lot to be aware of, such as system upgrades or county code changes bringing in the requirement to add metered connections to an older small system, for just one example.Otherwise- owner doesn't want to manage, I doubt you really do either but could be wrong.
