I would not go more high tech then a battery non internet lock because when you get into the smart phone type locks like August and nest in a situation like this the online ability to track entry and exit may introduce questions regarding who can access that information.

It's a really smart way to get started and that's what I did as well.I'm a Realtor in VT and happy to connect you with a few great FHA lenders around Burlington to get you started.

If we add that $14k to the after-tax cash flow, we are left with an all-inclusive after-tax return of 22.4%.In this example, we assume the value of the property will not go up in value one cent — which is smart because assuming is another word for speculating, and speculating is risky investing.

If they're smart they're embedding it in the nightly rate. 

I use Hoshin Planning and SMART goals on a spreadsheet but will transfer the immediate goals to the whiteboard and phone notes. 

Smart landlords establish 6 month reserve accounts and/or contingency funds, which protect them in times of vacancies or when expensive unforeseen repair bills pop up in addition to regular planned-for maintenance items.

Smart pros keep their risk of ruin under 1%.Just to throw out an example with some wildish guesses, say you are investing in your first property, but you know what you are doing anyway.

My question is, is it smart to pay for one?

Fellow Central Texans,I am in the midst of forming an initial business plan/model for future REI.While I'm still about 4-6 mo. out from seriously considering a first initial purchase or transaction, I am smart enough to know I need a solid team in place before moving forward with any part of it.

Be smart and keep learning!
