I just want to make my property management hassle free since I am doing it myself.What is the best door lock - with digital capabilities to share codes to lock/unlock doors - for both LTR and STR?

I’ve seen a few owners experiment with Nomad and similar digital property management models, and the feedback tends to cluster around a couple of consistent themes.What people like most is the structure without the high fees — marketing, leasing paperwork, tenant portals, and online rent payments are all handled cleanly, and the lower percentage (4% vs typical 8–12%) can really help cash flow if you’re willing to do some of the boots-on-the-ground work yourself.The property damage protection perk is appealing, but most experienced operators will tell you: that’s a nice bonus, not core risk management.

I am not saying Nomad is the same situation, but being digital might be a negative verse a positive if you are looking at it as trying to actually keep your property/asset in a position to win verse just going with an easy solution.

And it’s why Louisville continues to be what it has always been: steady, durable, and consistently consistent.Here's the twist:The more national office distress you see,the more capital rotates into industrial, logistics, retail, and mixed-use redevelopment.And Kentucky is positioned right in that slipstream.Investors love stability.Companies love access.Workforces love affordability.And right as NAR is projecting double-digit home sales growth in 2026 and a 4% bump in prices, Kentucky is stacking real economic foundations, not headlines.

As rents increase by over double digits in some areas, will income continue to struggle to keep up?

Typically they track:DateProperty/unitVendorDescription of workCategory (repair vs improvement)AmountLink to invoice/receiptKeeping digital copies of invoices in a folder system that matches your spreadsheet (by property and year) saves a lot of scrambling later.Some use property management software so maintenance requests, invoices, and payments all live in one place, which makes year-end reporting easier.
