I suggest Ring Doorbell2.My automation for AirBnB has:1) Ring doorbell2.2) Smart Thermostat.3) Window and door sensors.4) Yale Smart lock.5) Water leak sensors and smart fire alarm.Once these things are connected by a hub, then you can do automation.

I want to be as smart as I can be, so that I don't destroy my chances of continuing a hopefully long real estate investing future, but also don't want to miss out on a good deal that I may not find again for quite some time.The information and opinions I find on this site are invaluable to me, so my first instinct was to come on here and find out what you all think.Would you move forward with the current owner's conditions on my offer, and with the cash flow amount, and with the fact that I am stuck with these tenants for at least a year for one of them?

and of course I am biased getting my real estate license at 18 in the SF bay area and Brokers at 20.. then becoming a HML  its the path I chose but those paths allowed me to intersect with a lot of very smart people and move up the food chain.I had no money when I started I lived at home and drove my parents car the first 8 months of selling real estate until I could buy my own.. its was an Orange Karmen Ghia  that baby would be a collectors item today.. !!!

Hello BP community,I am pretty sure this was addressed before but due to the nature of technology, I wanted to get the latest thoughts on this.Can you please tell me in your opinion which rental management software is best from either a property manager standpoint (using the software to manage everything and provide report to landlord), from a landlord standpoint (to self manage) and from a landlord standpoint (to receive report from property manager).

Everyone keeps saying this, and I agree its smart, but where in Florida can you even find single family houses that cash flow with LTR?  

@Alexander GondolfiThat is smart.

And some I think have “smart” type chat for common questions like door codes or addresses 

Significant expertise in those areas will likely be prerequisites for a deal like the one you described.Generally, it's a smart move for beginners to start with beginner strategies (like a buy and hold LTR, or house hacking a single fam or small multi fam property).For a beginner, the deal you described is sort of like trying to ski down a double black diamond the first time you ever put on skis--the chances of disaster are very high, and the chances of success are almost non-existent.Give yourself the highest chance of success, and minimize the chances of failure by finding a strategy that fits your level of experience--if you're a beginner, don't try to execute a highly advanced strategy.

Well @James Alderman, people are pretty smart and will recognize a relisted place.

From offering flexible lease options and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, to using technology and keeping your properties well-maintained, these strategies will help you attract and retain top-notch tenants and boost your rental income.
