It's going to be very hard to gain traction in a market if the buyers stop opening your emails and don't pick up your phone calls. 

Have you had any traction or further insight into the rental market? 

I would install a deadbolt as it is an essential security device but nothing more. 

I have never seen any rental property with keyless entry on the back patio door, but my tenant is asking for it.This is what I found out when I searched up TX requirement for rental properties-"Every rental unit in Texas should be equipped with the following security devices at the time that the tenant takes possession of the unit:One window latch on each exterior window in the dwelling;A doorknob lock or keyed deadbolt on each exterior door*;A keyless bolting device (i.e. a keyless deadbolt) on each exterior door**;A door viewer on each exterior door;A sliding door pin lock AND either a handle latch or a security bar on each exterior sliding glass door."

@Dan Stelter if you read "Traction", which is a book many people in our business work from, it talks about how every good business has a Visionary and an Integrator. 

This narrative is somehow gaining traction, but is not supported by strong evidence.

Those are filtering devices that only work in certain markets at certain times.People evaluated rentals and discovered a correlation between purchase price and rent rate to create a "rule" for quickly determining if a property is worth evaluating or whether it should be discarded.

Hey @Justin Darian - I'm copying my response to your other post in the forums since it seems like you're taking stabs in the dark to find some traction before taking your first step.

Any and all inspections can be done during this time-Responding to any cash offer without verified bank statements as proof of funds or on a financed offer a verified approval letterMany markets in Texas are very hot as we all know so I will doubt you will get much traction with this strategy

We've been happy with the service (tried a few similar services in years past that gave users with different devices various errors and complications, nice to see someone getting it right).
