.- go through all the above motions, but this time I don't assign the lease and option to the tenant-buyer.

It was my first time stepping through the motions of a property auction and it was still a great learning experience, despite missing a technical deadline and not being able to bid on any properties.I am now in the process of closing on a FSBO listed duplex that's a better deal in comparison to most of the properties that sold in the area during the auction, so it all worked out in the end.

It helps to have the reminder that I need to proceed with the goal in mind, and not just go through the motions.

It's always best to start local and then gain experience as you go through the motions as a new landlord. 

The land deal is slow motion, maybe have something to report on that end in a few weeks.Hope everyone is having a great week!

It's definitely worth investigating.Yes, you can install motion-sensor cameras to monitor vacant rentals, but they require some paid service to monitor remotely (wifi, hotspot, etc.) 

We want a camera system that:1) Connects to internet for remote monitoring via an office computer (not just a mobile device)2) Has motion-sensor alerts3) Records to the cloud, so a thief can't disable/steal the camera to hide their identityWe plan to remove these cameras once a property is rented and reinstall at the next vacant rental.Wi-Fi connection to internet is possible, but we'd also like to look into cellular connections to internet.What suggestions do you have please?

Consider adding motion-detecting floodlights and installing visible CCTV cameras around entry points to deter crime.
