Trust me, you've seen these templates all over the internet.

We want a camera system that:1) Connects to internet for remote monitoring via an office computer (not just a mobile device)2) Has motion-sensor alerts3) Records to the cloud, so a thief can't disable/steal the camera to hide their identityWe plan to remove these cameras once a property is rented and reinstall at the next vacant rental.Wi-Fi connection to internet is possible, but we'd also like to look into cellular connections to internet.What suggestions do you have please?

I used Hanscom credit union, which I hear a decent amount from other investors in MA.

So if you have good credit and cash, it makes starting any type of business a lot easier. 

I always thought I needed tons of cash or perfect credit to get started.

Calling me a "newbie" would give me too much credit, but I do want to house hack when we move, and then look into rental properties if I manage to be a decent landlord.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Are anybody still doing second liens or a line of credit on investment properties?

Have them sign lease at full amount, then give them a monthly rent credit.

They currently have under $1M in leverage on the assets but are looking to get a line of credit / portfolio loan to encumber these properties or other properties they acquire.
