After I closed operations and took a year off to travel the country and go rockclimbing and alpine mountaineering (I guess I needed More adrenaline rush), I was hired by Marcus & Millichap one of the largest commercial brokerage companies in the country.

Vacancy - Rent rate and occupancy rate go hand-in-hand - monitor REVPAR per weekday/weekend/month to really know how you're doingutilities including wifi and surveillance - ideally with remote monitoring and locked in at reasonable temps, smoking/noise/party detectors perishable supplies (paper, coffee, soaps, etc.), linens (towels, sheets, comforters - they need to be thrown out every 3-12 months), Lawn care - not just mow and blow, but garden beds tooPest control - 80/qtr furniture - it doesn't last forever.Maintenance - normal + changing light bulbs, fixing furniture, loose doorknobs, etc.Administrative software - dynamic pricing engine, guest communication system Hosting fees - this is not a passive model.

Also, any electrical device that was touched by water or smoke had to be replaced. 

They travel lot and wont buy for sure.

I have to do the smoke inspection to get the smoke certificate and have the Nest 2nd Generator smoke and carbon monoxide (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XV1RCRY/ref=p...) 

It seems to be following the same trajectory as smoking where there was a complete coverup with blanket denials and government bribes.

I work a full-time job, my wife is a travel agent and works from home. 

Also, google some sort of a fire and safety contract, so you can walk through and show them smoke alarms, fire extinguishers etc and have them sign it.

Just leaving lights on won't do it either.This is fire that's not worth playing with.What if you travel a lot?

Water can travel very far if it lands on an angled beam or pipe.
