They broke into locked closets and took expensive camera and dive equipment (note: don't put anything in your STR of high value that could easily be taken) trashed the place as well.  

If you're thinking of renting the entire space out, a 2/2 can be a great strategy to target anyone traveling with a partner and/or digital nomads who often appreciate having a dedicated office space where they're staying.

Even as hosts who like to automate as much as possible, I liked having a physical book of recs, phone numbers, maps etc. vs a purely digital version. 6.

The portal should have all the leases, contracts, move-in/move-out checklists digitized, and uploaded.

Security wise, we can see all of our units cameras that have internet, any time on our phones.  

Granted you could use documents and cameras to protect you.

Online rentals, security cameras, etc.

I have a wifi camera on the entry/driveway of each home (used to be ARLO, now WYZE) A wifi connected front door lock, Honeywell wifi thermostats, PHYN plus smart water device and leak sensors near the boiler.

Though there are lots of tools- plumbing digital cameras to see inside of everything for example; however, I don't see machines doing stick built houses in a myriad of a million situations, yet.

Mine are in a third world country so for $4/hr they’ll set door codes, message (or call) guests, schedule cleaners, adjust the thermostat, monitor my cameras, call a plumber, etc.I too often spend around $99/mon per property but I can’t imagine you’d get the same level of quality & service that I do for that $99/mon price domestically
