The Simplisafe system works on a cellular platform with a battery backup of 8?

They passed a battery of tests to be certified.Paul

For example:General-Filters (furnace, air conditioning, oven exhaust, refrigerator, and water)-Stove burner when the “eye” needs simple replacement-Batteries and remotes that service the premises-Fan and light pull strings-Smoke and carbon alarms testing and batteries-Ensuring appliances are properly plugged in, hooked up, and used-Removing dirt, debris, and lint in and from connection pipes (e.g. clothes dryer)-Tighten loose screws on all home functions (e.g. doors, hinges, handles, socket -Balancing off-balance appliances-Cable, internet, and phone jacks-Fire extinguishers-Systems operation (e.g. security, irrigation, HVAC)HVAC-Monthly A/C filter and drain line maintenance Electrical-Reset “tripped” GFI breakers-Light bulbs (throughout and at the end of the tenancy)-Blown fuses-Reset breakers in the outside and inside breaker boxes-Socket and plug outlet coversPlumbing-Unclog drains or toilets-Caulking around tubs and showers as needed-Gas pilot lighting-Leaky faucets and shower heads-Toilet flappers, handles, seats and seat lids, tank lid, and flush kit-Sink and tub stoppers-If septic tank present, use RID-X as directed on consumer box-Proper cleaning of garbage disposal-Loose faucets and sprayer heads and hoses-Faucet filters (i.e. aerator)-Open exterior plumbing clean out when necessary (e.g. sewage backup)Exterior-Routine lawn (and pool) maintenance-Adjusting sprinkler heads as necessary-On the last month of tenancy, tenant must perform required lawn maintenance no sooner than 2 days prior to vacate dateThere’s a lot to consider as a landlord.

I've had tenants take light bulbs and smoke alarm batteries before, but never anything like you just experienced. 

The online modules track your hours to ensure full compliance with the 150 hours (as long as your pages don't time out) :).

I was reading somewhere that with RealEstateU, you have to pay $15 after each module to take the quiz.

If you don't mind me asking, what modules do you use to make the "dashboard?"

I looked at GPS tracking, but they need batteries changed frequently, and a monthly fee to be paid like a cell phone bill, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

At a minimum, our clients pay to have the locks changed, change smoke detector batteries, provide some furnace filters, and do a light clean to the property.

Right now I am going through the video modules and after that I will be reading the guide you mentioned and the 2 BP books on Rentals and Managing.
