I just installed a smart Tstat and hooked it up to my "c" wire which provides constant power from the furnace. No batteries needed.  If you want a digital thermostat and don't want to worry about the batteries maybe you can just hook it up to the "c" wire (or whatever wire you have that provides power).

Welcome to BP @Jake Colstad! 

It sounds like you already know the answer - now it is time to act on that knowledge.

@Russell Bogan, what did you end up doing and what did your tenant want?

You should find out what they want. Maybe they want to buy your property. Maybe your PM is crooked. You won't know until you ask them. If it is something that is really more appropriate for your manager you can politely inform them to contact your manager

@Account Closed, I am interested in the details. Instead of a PM, could you post the details here for everyone to see? Thanks and congratulations.

it sounds like this is your only property. You should not use a property manager if at all possible. One tenant should not be too onerous and you will learn a lot managing this yourSelf. Once you grow, then you can consider adding property management.

@David Faulkner, I am with you on loving the idea of F#$& you money. The position of F#$& You as portrayed in The Gambler by John Goodman's character continues to inspire me.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets! If you haven't already, check out the podcast  - it's amazing.

@Jay Hinrichs, LOL, I had to reread your comment to see what you were referencing. Out of curiosity, would you discourage @Aaron Mazzrillo from doing the podcast?
