This would prevent easy entry for someone who has that code after hours.The system also allows me to lock, unlock, arm and disarm the system remotely as well as see which door or window someone might have left open.

I would agree with this.I don't agree that equity in a house is "dead money" - it prevents you from paying interest on that amount if you borrowed on it and if the market ever does turn south it will be the investors with plenty of equity that will be in the best position to benefit as they can leverage that equity into more deals.

I think generic #s sometimes cause fear and prevent people from take that leap toward success.

If I become a Co-Borrower on a loan secured by a property that I intend to exchange into, will that prevent me using the 1031 Exchange?

Asset Protection is not just about preventing liabilities A true asset protection plan involves protecting you from the Big 4 wealth destroyers: 1.

We get the advantage of renting out a "whole space" but are still onsite to prevent parties, vandalism, etc. 

And that really is the key to managing one's health...prevention first!

@Kay March some smoke detectors have a plastic pin in the side to prevent it from turning.

If it passes, cities and counties can then a lot more about rent control, including imposing vacancy control which would prevent landlords raising the rent to market price on a vacancy. 

I encourage landlords to charge both if allowed by state law:  you add a little to your pocket, but you give the tenant an incentive to prevent and/or repair damages themselves to get their deposit back.
