Are they from a camera on your phone or do you have a friend that takes good photos (Like AirBnb photos)?  

Saying a "retail investigator" to me, is the guard at the department store watching the cameras and through one way mirrors for shoplifters.

So, today I bought a digital camera and called some realtors.

Hi @Michele G.Here's a BP blog post I recently published on how to estimate some common rehab costs:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72452-how...When I walk through a property, I use this punchlist to ensure that most of the items are accounted for:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/kubaf/fil...When you're walking through the property make sure that you record the whole thing top to bottom on your camera phone so that you can re-watch it over and over again while you come up with a scope of work.As to your deal numbers, I like that you have a large contingency if this is your first flip. 

The lock seems like it wont help unless its locked 24/7 and we had a security guy come look at the house yesterday and can install cameras but it will cost almost 2k.Is there anything we can do besides the security cameras?

After they are gone, we will be changing the locks and installing cameras.

I also had them check with a camera and came up with 4 areas that they "think" is compromised.

Same improvements minus the roof, and Add Exterior Iron Gate entry.Thinking of adding security cameras on both buildings. ( Are in C neighborhoods )My main goals are to do the repairs that normally yield the biggest difference on an appraisal. ( I am planning on hiring an appraiser to look at the property and tell me what would need to be done in order to get these properties up to or around the price point I need).

HD video surveillance?

If I switch to something like ring, and just have a camera on the outside and a video doorbell.
