If you can get me a written opinion from a nationally known regulatory attorney to back up your post, I will pay his bill for you, apologize to you in my newsletter, and buy you dinner in Seattle at any place of your choosing.

I'm going to start a weekly newsletter to send to them.

I have electronic locks and let the potential renter go through at their leisure.  

Since my background is in Electronics and IT is this something I can tackle myself?

I know you can buy secured boxes to put near your door or use an electronic door lock (there's an enclosed porch) and provide shipping companies with the codes.

(As noted above you have a smart phone and are connected electronically to your affairs).  

Communicating on the web, with videos and electronic signing has made out of state buying possible.I found my property manager by reading Yelp ads.  

I use Schlage electronic locks on all my homes (some model and all keyed identical) and have never give out a key in 8+ years.  

You should have your rent sent electronically on the first of month like clockwork. 

I own a Custom electronics installation company #Teatrograde, so I have a system I install that will benefit me as the owner but also provides ease and comfort to the tenants that pays for itself by providing my tenants with wifi at an additional cost, competitive to the internet providers.
