Are most relying on periodic inspections, technology, or just reacting to tenant complaints?

While it could reduce a portion of costs if the technology improves and becomes more affordable, I think we are a long way away from adoption of it that would result in any impactful industry wide pricing changes.Do you think 3D printed homes are the way of the future?

I appreciate the insights regarding your transition from public accounting to commercial lending.As technology continues to drive digitization across industries, it remains surprising that some individuals still rely on traditional methods such as keeping receipts in a shoebox.

Truly groundbreaking technology. 

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Quote from @Chris Bounds: Quote from @Theresa Harris: I don't use it and no someone who knows how to use it is not going to take my job.A lot of people said similar things about television, the internet, and social media.New technology rarely replaces people overnight, but people who learn how to use it well tend to outperform those who ignore it.Dismissing the impact it can have on your business might not feel risky today.

Don't do it...theres' a whole lot of bad that can go wrong when this is done - like damage to the property, the code being given out by the prospective tenant to 'others' to see, the property not being secured upon exiting, theft (they'll even take the dang frig), and this: "Fraud involving scammers and squatters entering rental properties via lockboxes is a rising, sophisticated scheme where criminals exploit vacant homes and self-showing technology to steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting renters.
