I remotely manage both of them using a hybrid method of Evolve Vacation rental for my bookings, listings, payments, etc. and then I use technology to basically manage remotely after the guest checks in. 

@Andrew M.Hotels use the motion sensor technology frequently to make sure the AC doesn’t run while guests are out and about.

We invent technologies you only thought possible in the movies.To give yo an idea of the scope how serious and impactful our work is:The dude in the vid is paraplegic, and there you see him walk again.Now, why am I telling you this?

I'm an 14 year IT professional and when I saw the technology I knew it was the next thing. 

Technology has eliminated those. 

People are being employed more and more by first world technology companies...and they don't set up shop in small towns.

With all of the technology available today, self-management is easier than ever.

But to reach out to the masses, thing bigger and how can you reach them with all the technology around. 

Quick background about myself -  I'm a real estate investor from the City with rentals in Sacramento + Houston and currently working in technology as well.At this point, it sounds like Sacramento might be something that's exciting as well as making more financial sense for you and your wife which almost sounds like it'll be a win-win.  

With todays technology it is a waste of time trying to hide your identity.
