My wallet was stolen last month, and while canceling all the cards was a PITA, not a single bank gave me a hassle about it, including the one with whom the thief did use one of my cards (in the hour between the theft and when I reached the bank).We're well into the information age, folks.

Here are a few ideas:-Put up motion sensor lighting-Video or Alarms -real or fake?

My understanding with this is they are generally responsible for rent collection, tenant management, repairs & maintenance (small landscaping, supervision of subcontractors - which I approve and the bill is then send to me), maintaining records and such.Being my first month with my first property I was a bit surprised to see the 8% fee in addition to-Meet electrician for repairs and updates to fire alarm. 1.5 hours- $50Trip and installation charge for unit 1 window (without cost of materials)- $35Repair broken handrails (without cost of materials)- $30Cut and trim, clean loose debris- $35Unit 4 late rent collection (time contacting, travel to meet)- $25This adds $175 to the 8% ... my question is- what then is the 8% for?

Disclaimer: I am not a professional electrician.Something else that might work for you is fire alarm cable. 

No need to hire a chimney sweep every six months, provide & maintain fire extinguishers, extra CO alarms, this list goes on.On this one, I would be aggressively defensive. 

This should be equipped with a high level alarm as well to let you know there's a problem with the pump/float before a back up ever occurs. 

My wife has a Mustang that has sat so long in the garage, I've put 2 brand new batteries in it and both have gone dead from the alarm draining them.

Inspections are for 'code violations' such as peeling paint, locks on windows, ingress/egress, grounded outlets, smoke alarms, AND too many occupying the place!

.), even having alarm systems in place - so your Realtor was being honest with you.

Your "almost too good to be true" comment should set off an alarm for you.
