I'm wondering if any landlords use tenant satisfactions surveys. If you do, how often do you send and how beneficial are they to your business? Do you have any template you mind sharing?
https://www.tenantverification.ca/ may be used for checking applicants but not reporting them. Haven't heard of a tenant / landlord database in Canada but that may be something useful.
I would almost always go variable, unless I know for sure rates are going up. Statistically, variable rates are much lower than fixed rates. See http://www.ratehub.ca/blog/files/2012/07/Mortgage-Rate-5-year-History-Graph-07.30-1024x697.png
What are some cool tech products/upgrades for real estate?
I am looking for something geared towards landlords and their rental properties. Ideas I got so far: keyless entry, nest thermostat, solar panels, and automatic door for pets. Any other ideas?
