Hi, my name is Tha Lock and I would like to introduce myself to everyone here.

I got pretty much all guest communications, door locks automated with airbnb, homeaway, flipcart and few others, excited to put it to work in Dallas.I am new to Dallas, so wondering if you could though few areas that you have seen success or recommend for airbnb/homeaway?

Here in Vermont I almost never lock my car doors of my trucks only if expensive cargo is visible and I never lock my Mercedes SL500 convertible and often just leave the top down when shopping at Walmart or in town.

@Jennifer Ryan here are some of the things we look for:- understand their business: how old, how big, etc- properties: what types do they manage, avg rental amount range, avg lease length, vacancy lengths- fees: onboarding, tenant placement, monthly, renew fee, inspections, etc- tenant screening: in house or no, how screen, how many past landlords contacted, does owner have word in final say- collecting rent: process for late rent, collection, eviction- maintenance: in house or no, how do they communicate with owner, do they hold maintenance fund, process for major repairs- Misc: online tools for owner and tenant, how do they pay owner, what day of month do they pay ownerAlso, make sure you don't sign a contract that locks you in for a year.

and if they do the underwriting now, then I get my offer accepted, am I locked in with this one particular lender or can I still shop around?

As for access, i put on a lock box and chang the code after they are done.

Setup a successful house hack, thus freeing up the $1000+ currently locked into rent monthly     2.

It also looks like an old t-lock shingle from the pictures, which means it’s old because they don’t do that type anymore, and you are not roofing over that if it has issues and it’s going to be a complete tear off. 

I sign a couple of documents ( Appraisal report, Proof of delivery, hazard insurance, loan estimate, Lock agreement) but my current loan Status is Conditional Underwriting Approval.

Would a good bargaining tool to lock them in for another 12 months and increase their rent at the same time by purchasing a ($300-$400) fridge.
