This is the season of your life where you can take the stress and use it to build long-term momentum.

Week of November 10, 2025The government’s back open, economic data is catching up, and housing is starting to show life again!

I very strongly considered going to smart locks and decided not to since the battery life is in months, not years like with the BE365.

Real-life landlord experience (our portfolio + contractors):We manage units with:Small workshopsAuto baysWarehousesFlex spacesIndustrial officesAnd the pattern is always the same:👉 Tankless = headaches, callbacks, and premature failure👉 Mini-tank = install and forgetThe reliability alone is worth more than the theoretical efficiency.Bottom LineFor industrial sink use:✅ Go with a 3–5 gallon traditional electric tank heater❌ Avoid small electric tankless unless you absolutely need endless hot water(which you don’t in this setup)Your electrical panel, your tenants, and your maintenance budget will thank you.
