Even though we didn't reached our goal of getting 1 wholesale deal under the belt during this time, but I've gained so much confident by going through the motion of analyze deals, doing comps, submitting offers, talking to other agents on their listing, talking to contractors...

Hard wired smoke detectors are usually required in remodel too.One caution on adding egress windows is they can become water traps.

The microscopic distance of the attic vent, insulation spacing, the smoke detectors not being in sync when 1 rings etc. 

Have you seen the detection devices that provide remote notification:  https://www.amazon.com/smart-water-leak-detector/s?

LeakSmart has leak detectors that you put on the floor around potential leak spots such as the washing machine or boiler.

Very good lighting inside&out (on a timer), plus motion activated lights as much as possible/appropriate (they make super bright LARGE led ones, even solar now so don't need to be hard wired). 

- Motion trigger activation, and I’d prefer if it would record longer than 30 seconds when triggered - The ability to download and store videos - Real time notification on my phone when camera is triggered - similar to my Ring doorbell I use at my home- Cameras record both video and AUDIO- My ability to talk to people through the cameras would be a bonus - Night vision for outside cameras a bonus- Ability to remotely swivel horizontally - and vertically?

I think it's a slow motion train wreck as it stands.

Of this 20k is furniture/smart tech upgrades eg: $540 for 15 smoke detectors, $1650 for 15 blinds not bad but $1100 for a used fridge?
