How to handle security for a flip in the ghetto

Posted

We are doing a flip for a house in West Ogden, the area is rough.  The house is about 800 square feet.  There is no phone lines to the house.  The house keeps getting broken into.  Nothing to take so we are not loosing anything but it is a pain to keep fixing stuff and when we do get it finished there will be appliances which they will take.  I am thinking about having a security system put in but I dont want to point out the crime issue when someone goes to buy the house.  Would it be better to get some kind of portable system, if so does any one know of any good options?
