Cambridge Tues 4/16: Smart Home Tech for Rental Properties

Technology can save time, reduce risk, and earn higher rents by shutting off the water, giving renters keyless entry, and keeping vandals away all without us having to be there. Come see what easy and affordable steps you can take to modernize your operations, save time, and get a higher return on your investment. Key use-cases we will be considering:

• Rekeying
• Streamlining access for tenants and contractors / repairs
• Controlling / Reducing utility expenses
• Freeze protection
• Security

We will be going over smart thermostats, water leak detection and shutoff, smart locks, door and window sensors, and video monitoring. This part of the presentation will be given by Charles Hadsell, MassLandlords member and CEO at ePropertyCare.
