As an IT Pro, I'm much more inclined to automate/digitize rental payments. 

That level of IRR is MARGINAL and I will explain in this post why I think that is not good enough.MOST syndicators are giving away 70% of their equity to their investors because if not, with the marginal deals that they have, their investors will not make double digit returns on their money.I say that THIS practice of being happy with a marginal deal and having to give away a majority of your deal is NOT a good practice at all.Why?

I would tell them to buy their own security cameras and battery powered door alarms, and they can take it with them when they move out.you provide a home that has functional door and window locks.

Been reading digital since the physical copy hasn’t arrived yet.

Security camera out front or inside?

We buy all the properties with our own funds and then distribute them to our investor partners who are looking for opportunities to use their funds and or self directed IRAs to generate double digit returns not otherwise available anywhere else so it's been a great win win strategy.  

There are areas that have been appreciating for a while, it’s always hard to predict appreciation so I am reluctant to say what areas are going up but there are lots of areas that will meet your budget and provide double digit cashflow.  

Home Depot allows you to create digital keys you can cut if you lose a key or need to give someone a key when you are away.

I am an hour away, but he knows I have cameras and other wifi smart equipment.  

We want to utilize auto and digital payments as much as possible, but we also need to have more security and confidence in our payments.
