Looking for something I can use other than the basic home internet to manage the locks and cameras at my property remotely.

I am not sure if this is the right place or not but I wanted some input into any obvious issues with my lease option offers to the tenant buyer that earns plenty of income but doesn't have the cash right now and wants to improve credit before purchasing but would like to lock in the price as our market is still struggling with inventory. 

You can quit claim the property into an LLC after the fact, but you'll want to be sure that this does not trigger acceleration/repayment under the terms of the mortgage.

I guess my question would relate to the wisdom of pulling the trigger now and paying more for a property that could well be purchased for significantly less in another 3-6 months or maybe even longer if the down trend is expected to last a few years.

Not sure exactly what that means but that's why I wanted to get it locked in good! 

New investor hereI have 2 rental properties (duplex & triplex) that I bought at the highest interest rates (8%), they DO cash flow but now that rates have softened a bit my question is when do you all as investors decide to pull the trigger on refinances?

With this deal I’m looking at, I’m gonna have to leave a big chunk of equity locked up in the house in order to break even or cashflow.

I like land locked areas and urban markets as do most firms. look at where banks buy buildings. mostly 20 story buildings in downtown markets for a reason. asset protection and preservation so we try to do it as close as possible. there are lenders in columbus that do 100% hard money financing for renovation loans that based on experience make concessions to experience operators. we are vertically integrated though for design, build, entitlement, leasing, and brokerage so there isn't much missing. licensed general contractor. 

Considering we haven't locked down a market yet (debating between Shenandoah or Blue Ridge) would it make more sense to put a set amount in an account for the down payment or bring them a deal first?

If you guys want to live there and the timing is right for you guys, then, I would say pull the trigger.
