I find that people who are closed minded and negative about the program either tried it decades ago (before technology allowed some of the controls we have today to be in place) or they tried it on a small scale and were not proactive about protecting themselves when something went wrong.  

I was trained to be an architect at Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Think of new technologies, gadgets, software applications all causing all sorts of disruption in the space and all of which put a dent on in-store traffic count.

This is a new age and you need to step up to the new technology.

In my humble opinion, technology should be a landlord's/propery manager's best friend.  

The other triplex we purchased at $49,500 we are $16K into renovations its yields $2250/mo with a break even of $700/mo, we estimate another $30K will get the house in great condition(windows, account for $15K of that).The $130K property purchased in 2013 now values at $500KThe $49.5K property purchased in 2016 now values at $82KThese are all great comparables because of the cost of acquiring these properties in terms of cash to close are relatively close.In reality, the Toronto renters there quality is A-/B+ or on a scale of 0-100 prob an 88 (both families where the earners work in Engineering or Technology)The Detroit renters their quality ranges from 75-95 where the income earners are Trust Fund Babies(I consider the lowest grade), Medical Resident, Consultant at a Big 4 Accountant Firm, A Law Library Librarian, Marketing Professional, and Electrician.The high cashflow rentals fuel the ability to purchase the rentals in more "desirable" areas.

All that being said, carpet technology has improved vastly in the last 3 years and there are now stain proof carpets available.

It seems like new technology comes out and everybody wants to spend money because they can spend money.

For living in an age of electric cars, smart phones and 3D printing, it can't be technology or materials holding this back.

The thing is.....If you use specific technology to advertise to someone, then you can't get upset when they use the same technology to respond to your ad.If you don't want them messaging you through FB, then maybe your ad shouldn't be linked to your FB.I agree with the frustration though.
