Hi All, quick question, I was thinking on get some temp cameras on my new rehab, as is an out-of-town investment 2 outside and 2 inside, the outside I will keep for the tenants after we rent, the inside is for the rehab process only.this will imply having internet in the house, I was thinking on offering internet with the rent as well, you think this will help on the rental, it will add security to the tenant and I will be able to see the exterior of the house, remember that I'm new on this so your help is highly appreciated.Internet cost is about $70.00 a month As always, thank you for your input !!  

Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, and boating.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Cloud, MN area have a recommendation for a good and fair exterior house painter?

Now a landlord (and architect), I wouldn't build out the space without the second stair since it really is a safety issue/liability (especially in case of a fire) if anything were to happen.Full excerpt of building code below:According to the Chicago building code on egress requirements, the third story above grade plane within a dwelling unit [which in this case is the duplex-up unit], all the following conditions must be met:1.) the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system2.) the floor area of the story does not exceed 1600 sq ft3.) the dwelling unit has an exit that discharges directly to the exterior at the level of exit discharge.Your third story attic space is unlikely to exceed 1600 sq ft, but you'll probably find the sprinkler system to be cost-prohibitive.

This is easy to see in earnings reports for credit card companies (that continue to blow out earnings, with travel as their lead category), hotel companies, and Airbnb itself.I think a lot of it is just going overseas now as international travel continues to strengthen. 

Closing up holes is part of preventing them from coming back in and also preventing them from traveling throughout the house.  

I don't live in OKC, but travel there frequently to visit friends.

Add a bike room or covered bike storage on the property's exterior and charge $15 monthly for a spot.

We fought for this for several reasons: 1. tourism is our main economy 2. there are an incredible amount of dilapidated homes that could be renovated and made beautiful if the investment return justified it (which STR in a beach town could) and 3.this is a family-friendly, lower-cost and now COVID friendly way to travel. 

@Collin H.With credit card defaults and auto defaults on the rise as well as overall debt - people will start tightening the belts and first thing they will get rid of is spending on travel and vacations etc So reading this I am not surprised - how has 2024 been compared overall to last year ?
