I live in a lower-income area, so I figure that the better tenants you will get with a safe house, the ongoing safety the tenants feel, and the lowered risk of a break-in (when occupied or vacant getting ready to lease), and reduced headaches/vacancy/potential damage are worth the marginal up-front cost of having it installed.

I don’t care if you steal a property, high quality tenants will never sacrifice on being safe and feeling safe.  

Agricultural land and property suitable for residential development seem like safe options to me.

There are additional things to avoid.My purpose for bringing this to the attention of investors is because there are misguided gurus out there teaching these very techniques.

30-Year Conventional: 7.01%30-Year VA Loan: 6.40% Drive Safely, Las Vegas!

Having 1 toddler and another on the way you'd want to have money set aside and financially safe.

Just like you would as a realtor, use your marketing techniques (cold calling, mailers, networking etc.) to find good off market deals for yourself.

However, the beneficiary interest is not a disclosed matter re the trust.You need to check any tax concerns with your tax professional.Stay safe out thereAlan

Owners cannot recoup these costs through higher rents, meaning they are effectively being penalized for trying to improve their properties.Instead of discouraging responsible property owners who follow the permitting process and invest in meaningful upgrades, we should be focusing our efforts on ensuring that all renovations are done legally and safely.

The guru your son is learning this technique from is likely not telling your son that the deal will almost certainly encourage your son to get an "off-market" deal from a "wholesaler" who is unlikely to properly disclose the details of the property or encourage an inspection.
