If so the Nest probably would not be a good option because it will monitor to see if anyone is around and it wouldn't be able to see outside of the area its in.I know some people who love it.

I install a monitored security system monitored by a local company.

Yes, you can fight this by monitoring liquor cost closely and they even sell high-tech metering systems and camera systems now, but again its much easier said than done.

Yes I heard the same from another investor with the maintenance and sneaky addon charges being a grey area if not monitored or setting the rules upfront.Will have to get over there when I can and network with the PM's 

It runs off your GPS on your phone and will pick up all the property information around you and even follow you as you drive.You can see parcel size and number, owner information, zoning, and more.

It sounds like you'll have an easy time getting the property rent-ready again, but you need to do a better job of screening and monitoring your tenants. 

How many times have I looked at my monitor reading a cash-for-keys advocate's advice and wondered this exact thing?

An integrated security and alarm system can be more effective, but you are spending a lot of cost up front on systems, and a continuing drain for monitoring.

You'll be able to determine how much to include in the rent if you start monitoring it now, before you put on solar.

Doesn’t look like major curling, I would likely address whatever is bothering you and monitor it.
