I am preparing to move abroad but I own the apartment I live in here in the U.S and also have an apartment that I purchased that's being rented and which I pay a mortgage on.
Can people share tips on using the Internet to "automate" landlord duties?
I can see setting up automatic payments so that tenants are not mailing me checks. I can also see setting up automatic bill payments.
I guess I would also need to have handymen on call so that any repairs that are needed can be done. Maybe a lawyer as well in case a tenant is late or stops paying rent.
Anything else I'm missing? Maybe an Internet-based security camera (although the camera itself would probably get stolen if I installed it outside the building)?
