@Kimothy Bynum

I have been struggling to network with someone local who is applying the same strategy but I know there's someone out there..

In case someone comes across this thread...I found this BP podcast (Episode 560) who is using the same strategy  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...    .... keypad entry.

@Angie Castro - I have been reading this as being the recommended step, my only hesitation is the cost as I have a 5Bed (min ~$90/room)

@Kimothy Bynum At minimum $450 for this cheap keypad entry which matches my bronze hardware (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ho...) or I could spend ~$141 to get the Kwikset MasterKey https://www.amazon.com/Kwikset...

I have two rooms with their own bathrooms which I'm considering using AirBNB or Traveling nurses - so how about 2 x keypad and 3 x key knobs?   I need to do a better job estimating rehab costs on my next property...

I'm House hacking my first SFH rental property and I plan on moving out after a year. Does each room need a door lock with key for safety reasons, or should I just keep privacy knobs installed? Is it worth the time and money to change out the locks? What door locks do you recommend (key vs touch key)?
