Security for fix and flips

My fix and flip has recently been broken into and they stole from the property I was wondering what security measures do experienced flippers use to keep burglary from happening?

Replied

@Joshua Melero We had vacant property that were remodeling and considered installing cameras inside the property. At the time my wife and I were very hands on with remodels. I worked late hours getting projects completed so I never installed cameras. When we get into our next property and remodel I'm installing the system linked below. We did buy the basic indoor system for our primary residence and use it everyday. It's super easy and runs via the app or keypad.

From the website - "Without Wi-Fi, you can still change your system and sensors’ basic settings via the Keypad as well as take advantage of our Professional Monitoring service’s basic features. And if you are subscribed to a monitoring plan that includes cellular backup, your Base Station will still communicate with our cellular connection back-up."

The service is not very expensive and once the remodel is complete you could take it all down. You don't even have to drill holes in the walls to mount stuff. You can have multiple base stations and multiple properties all connected under one account. You can buy extra indoor cameras or customize kits. Cheers man.
