My sister and I founded Abideaway to help short term rental hosts increase their profitability and guest experience through interior design, mural painting, and digital branding—in essence, a suite of creative services to set them apart :) We work nationwide and would be happy to help wherever you land.Would love to chat with you to learn more about your direction and see how we can assist.

For example, the garage door must be remotely controlled so:The property manager can remotely open it to allow delivery and service people access.Access to the garage will be through an app on the tenant’s phone, no clickers or digital keypads to reprogram.

A lot of our customers use Digital Trust for self-directed IRA  

And spend my time working on the things I'm good at.I think they ARE valuable to have, especially if you're looking to raise private money   We live in a digital world now and anything you can do to set yourself apart can't hurt!

Having said that, there are still some great options out there which may be able to help you keep everything in one place (listing the property to 10+ major rental listing sites, managing listing responses + scheduling viewing times, tenant screening w/ a fully comprehensive application, digital lease creation, online rent collection, and maintenance request tracking).

Details like mood lighting, cozy nooks, a romantic balcony setup, and a “wow” factor make all the difference.6️⃣ Digital Nomads – Comfort meets function.

When it's a deal someone "allowed" you to have, the margins are generally those where you GOTTA know your stuff and "thread the needle" for profit, or reap the consequences.I will add we are no longer in the "Digital Age", that's done, happened, over and beyond.

It could be worth considering a shot at an actual software solution built for DIY landlords (1 - 15 units); one that helps you to automate your own rental process (ie. compared to other tools, one that helps you to actually get it listed on 10+ major listing sites, allows you to schedule showings, provides you with super thorough tenant screening options, online digital leases which can be customized and help you by breaking out those fees, automated maintenance tracking, and fast rent collection which also offers your tenants the ability to report their positive on-time payments to the major credit bureaus; just another positive reinforcement/added incentive to get them to make those payments on time).

I haven’t installed any digital locks for the rooms, just the exterior.
