The nice thing about using the loggers, you have a nice graph that will show exactly what happens over time so you can accurately assess the performance, proving to the tenant that you are (hopefully) meeting the minimum temperature requirements for housing in your locale.

You want to ask yourself, how would this property perform as an investment the day I move out?  

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
