My AC expert tenant in Property #2 came to Property #1 for routine AC maintenance, and he showed off his new gadget a FLIR camera tool that connected to his iPhone.BTW: A FLIR camera sees the world based on the temperature of the surface.

@Marcia Maynard, hello... nifty gadgets indeed... if you're looking to do this on an ad hoc basis, you might want to check with your local utility company to see if they offer free energy analyses first... they may very well offer some incentives for areas they identify that could be improved and you have the work done.

I know a lot of people who say they want freedom, but in reality they want wealth...For example, you can achieve freedom by purchasing a very cheap property, paying it off quickly, moving in, and then building enough cash flow to pay for the basics -- food, clothes, used car, insurance, etc.That would give you freedom from having to work for someone else...The problem is, most people want more than that -- they want a nice house, a couple cars, good food, vacations, toys/gadgets, etc.

Wow, this IS clever yet simple.I've heard of gadgets being put on card swipes at gas stations that capture your CC info but this is too simple if the thief is willing to hang around and play "good samaritan".Wonder why they call it the "Lebanese" loop?

Steve, you always come up with good questions (like you don't already know the answer to it)I guess I'm a real "nerd" when it comes to the latest gadgets and office equipment. 

I don't know if this applies to RE but these days the latest gadget does not stick around that long. 

Nowadays I often wonder how much those tenants who have a hard time paying the rent are spending on their phones and all the other fancy gadgets.

ATTENTION Techies and Gadget Guys/Gals....I need some help.
