I just put some at my personal residence.Hey Garrett...would you be able to provide the make and model of those cameras? 

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

I'm pretty sure it had to record to an SD card but this was 8-10 years ago, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have cloud recording models today.

Also, these were put into business by and before 2022.There are also desktop / modeling study options that aren’t DIY and are still done by engineers 

I also completley share his advice on a bias for action.If you are interested in a good book reference with checklist like models, check out "The Perfect Investment" by Paul Moore and "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down" by Brandon Turner, both also available in audio versions.

They also did the STR model while househacking and are doing well.It can be done, but you may need to get a bit creative with your tenants, not just relying on the LTR model.Best of luck!

If you're planning on utilizing a self-showing model with cameras you'll need to make sure you disclose to prospective tenants viewing the property that there are cameras on premise.At scale, we've coordinated 160,000+ on-demand/self showings with smart lockboxes over the past 5 almost 6 years with very few issues.

The model itself is dumb, illegal, and filled with nothing but idiots.

Specifically for the rent-to-own model do you know which components go into determining "strength of the deal"?

I had a intro call with them on Friday and their business model sounds amazing, but maybe too amazing.
