You'll be able to determine how much to include in the rent if you start monitoring it now, before you put on solar.

An integrated security and alarm system can be more effective, but you are spending a lot of cost up front on systems, and a continuing drain for monitoring.

Doesn’t look like major curling, I would likely address whatever is bothering you and monitor it.

They need to usually hold on to all of them because umbrella needs to match up to liability amounts for your other policies so you are properly protected. they cant monitor that if they are with a diff company.When I came to the limits of using Geico/Farmers etc. with their limitations on the number of rentals I could hold, I sought out the top 100 independent insurance broker in my area and used them to get a quote.

For a home that's temporary (ie live in one year before renting), the location is less critical, but the price (ie downpayment) and the ability to cash flow carry more weight.

Main sill (beam) needs to be removed and replaced though as it is carrying weight of the walls and home.But, it’s never just 1.  

Quit Claim Deeds typically have little or no weight in Texas as Title Companies normally will not accept a Quit Claim Deed. 

I also enjoy basketball, lifting weights, and reading. 

Be very clear with them about what you can/cannot monitor with the cameras.You can also consider selling and investing in a safer community.

How many times have I looked at my monitor reading a cash-for-keys advocate's advice and wondered this exact thing?
