It will help you market properties, screen applicants, sign documents electronically, collect rent, track maintenance, run reports, and more.Software is a common question on BiggerPockets.

Amy,I've not used them with steam heat, but have used them with hydronic (hot water) systems - both the old-fashioned wax-plug/mechanical kind and the newer, electronic types.Many of the newer electronic one allow the the use of a remotely mounted thermostat and some can even be programmed for set-back times (i.e. during the work day or at night).When compared to manual radiator valves, and the humans who will not remember to adjust them, either kind of thermostatic valve will save you energy and money, but the newer electronic ones with remote thermostats/sensors and, optional programability, will save more.

Cost me a new back door and tenant lost a few electronics.

Have you considered the blue-tooth electronic locks by Janus International?

Put a coded electronic deadbolt on the property and after prequalifying each potential tenant over the phone you can give them the code so you don't have to meet each one.

Bill also hosts the LAREIA and writes a weekly newsletter, definitely worth subscribing to as he also highlights upcoming events.

Most of mine pay electronically as it is easier in general for them, but if it is already hard to rent, this requirement may unnecessarily weed out good tenants.No smoking: This one is fine.
