I started in Detroit.. and the guy I funded had a pretty sharp contractor .. and he was also PMnow they had learned that much of the theft was being done by workers who worked on the houses during the day and came back and stole the appliances etc at night.so when you rolled up on one of their props.. there was a security guard who checked your ID wrote down your info etc.. before you were allowed on the property.. this cut down thefts a ton.Next thing is most who own in these areas ( locals who have experienced this for years.)They put nothing of value in until the day before the tenant moves in..
