Three RE locals take the opposite opinion in the article, so don't be too alarmed.

The price is high for a reason, people are moving to Colorado at an alarming rate.

Thank you for your response.Hmmm, I feel like I'd just throw the main circuit breaker if I wasn't there showing it or rehabbing.I don't see a reason to keep the power on otherwise, except I suppose for lights on timers or an alarm system.Now I want to know if landlords typically have alarm systems on their properties...I have so many questions.

One other thing you could do is to call area banks and county people that have sent out notices and get on their list to alarm you when the send a homeowner a notice for payment.  

It would not deter a determined thief, as they would just bust through and cause even more damage to the window and frame.

I'd go last on small claims, it's not expensive, but it's time consuming, I don't have prior experience but know some people who does. 2 weeks without communication is a little alarming, but a two week invoice is still fresh.

I have an alarm inside the house but I don't trust this guy won't sabotage my work.

Long story short, evicted the tenant, put on a new roof, painted the walls, replaced carpeting, added a 1/2 bath, got a new amazing tenant in place (they have since finished the basement, added security alarms, painted walls, added cabinetry... all on their own dime) paying $850 a month.Fast-forward again to last year.

But not an alarming rate.  

If you're in a very competitive market you may want to get the house staged (filled with furniture) for marketing purposes.If you must list it in such a way as to disclose the address (for example you list it with an agent as a rental) please spend the extra $15-20 bucks to install a simplisafe alarm system: this is an inexpensive alarm system that works over 3G cellular networks.
