I've heard great stuff about East Ridge, Hixson, and Red Bank, and I have found some properties that I am personally interested in in East Ridge, but the crime rate in the zip codes associated with these regions seems really high.

The old codes are grandfathered in so a legal unit does not have to be up to code by todays standards in Chicago. 

I just saw this article and thought it might be of interest to the community:https://www.engadget.com/amazon-alexa-residential-smart-home-apartments-162801943.html"Amazon wants to make it easier to have a smart home without actually owning a home.

Get headcount by googling thetown or zip code.

@Eduardo Laffosse What zip code is your property in?

Unfortunately, in most of these situations, "partnering" with or "mentoring" a beginning investor is code for "wasting my time helping someone who's constantly screwing up (because they're a beginner), and not only getting nothing in return, but also exposing myself to increased liability". 

Many PMs will put lockboxes because this way they can give codes to prospects or buyers agent representing a tenant might just give and get paid a commission without doing much work.

The seller has to work on something at the house that had an open permit because not up to code.

We are trying to find a keyless entry door lock that you can automate to change the passcode whenever a guest checks out and also automatically send the new code to the next guest a few days prior to their check in.

VA does the coding.
