Keeping up with events like CES can help you be on top of breaking news and innovations. Even if you don’t understand the process or product, allowing for outlets, access, and options may help potential tenants feel more tempted by your offerings.
Lightbulbs, smart home thermostats, and more are able to connect to smartphones and tablets to change the experience of how you control your living environment. If you show in shared spaces energy efficiencies and automation, on things like lights and irrigation, not only will you save money, you’ll show potential renters what they can expect. Per unit, smart locks and other products are good for both you and your renters.

Even a simple, well-documented plan or route of access for food deliver like Grub Hub and car services like Uber and Lyft can help set you apart from the competition. Â
