That is the plan. We bought a portfolio of 27 properties. They have increased in value, and our rents have increased by more than 45% overall. Based on our 1031 and commercial loan, we are trying to figure out how to separate out some of the duds. We want to offload some that are dragging us down.

Thank you for the advice! It's extremely helpful. From what I can tell with all the research I've done I need to set up the app on my phone (to see the video) while in close proximity to the camera to connect. Maybe I'm wrong but I had to do that on our STR (Ring) and Wyze also requires close proximity on initial setup. Still trying to figure that out.

The break-ins happened on 2 separate SFH that are not located near each other. They were not initially considered high crime areas. With one property, a hotel that doubled as a homeless shelter one neighborhood over shut down and has caused problems for the surrounding areas. The other is unrelated and we suspect is tied to the tenant (who was with us for 3 years) that did not renew their lease and moved (we cannot prove this).

Again, many thanks! 

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in? We have had two homes broken into and materials stolen recently. We are out of state and have local property managers. We want to set up something short-term with or without wifi. We have heard of using a hotspot or burner phone situation for wifi, but we are not sure how this works. We welcome any suggestions.
