In college I worked as an appliance tech and this is a vastly overlooked part of cleaning ones home.

I'm assuming your comment supports that claim.Absolutely agree.Longer-term (10-30 years), I believe there are additional risks with the majority of the area's economy being tied to tech, but that's not a 2015 problem...

Buy a new fridge from the start and the cable company will install a modem and if it has an issue you just call the tech?

We currently have 1 maintenance tech and finding we need more help particularly when we need “bigger jobs” completed.

I already introduce new tech and process to help work flow with mixed results.I'm happy to lease out a group of apartments to someone for our market rent (say, $1000/month).  

I am a huge fan of ownerreservations or OwnerRez.They have a lot of features, are reasonably priced and I have been very impressed with their customer service and tech support.I use it to manage all of my automated guest communications, electronically signed rental agreements and a lot more.

That requirement is also in their lease and in the agreement where they forfeit the security.They agreed to be OUT by 4 PM March 31 and I am gonna do a very detailed walk thru with my tech manager.

2001.....tech bubble imploded.

The tech support people will mostly rent rooms (OT, PT, surgical tech).

Those WiFi locks seem pretty nifty until they fail, they are hacked, or your Tenant isn't tech savvy and could care less about learning how to use them.I just don't see how the additional cost is justified.
