Alarm Systems in Apartments
I'm looking at a 16 door property in a C part of town. As I push through the recovery stage I want to keep the property safe so I've put security cameras into my numbers.
But, what about security systems in the apartments.
Hypothetically a safer unit attracts a higher level tenant, or I completely crossed into the funny farm?
Apartment alarms, Yay or Nay and why?
GO!

I try to look at these situations with typical human nature in mind. YOU want to Act as though the neighbourhood is as safe as it gets. Then add Oh by the way the house is equiped with Simply Safe home security. No wires, no contracts, easy do it yourself instal. Have the option there for the tenant to utilize. Once you start putting up cameras you are close to bars on the windows appearance and you risk scaring people away.
