Neither camera is capable of turning toward the house to view anything going on inside the residence.I am a remote landlord and wanted the cameras as a security measure to protect the exterior as well as monitor what goes on when outdoor vendors are at the property. 

Consider remote monitoring tools (like security cameras), and budget an extra 10-15% for surprises.

Having someone who has owned and operated a similar asset is worth its weight in gold. 

I used to have a Minute sensor (for noise monitoring) in a unit located in a rough part of town, and guests would simply take it down.

Worth its weight in gold.

Actually for me it is an upside to have indivdual systems so you can monitor tenant behaviors. 

2) Property Preservation: as the owner you have the right to protect your property - even during an eviction. 3) Monitoring Utilities: you should have been receiving the water bills.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Otherwise, if you prefer not to go through that process, you'll be hit with a 25% tax on your rental income, which can eat into your profits.I also recommend investing in a couple of cameras and a good smart lock for security and monitoring.

The plaster shows mildew, and because it holds so much moisture, he has recommended taking down the damp plaster before the weight of it collapses.
