- install live feed camera- smart locks to monitor entry times- get friendly with next door neighbor and let them know to send you complaints or contact you if there seems to be an issue- always have written approval before any change orders- perhaps a % of contingency can be applied as a bonus if they complete the job ahead of schedule.- let them know you will pay them within 48hrs and have a signed w9 before any payment is made. - does GC have 2-3 subs in each category as backups- will they work on weekends if behind schedule?

I live in a Smaller town, and I use my phone camera and Google Keep.

@Brandon Alexander You can do some of that today on properties you own with internet monitoring(alarm) systems and cameras.

Cameras and police are ok ideas but remember he’s got all day to  damage stuff around your property. 

Make the check in process as easy as possible (ideally a key code attached to a video camera doorbell) change the code for each and every guest, but invest in a lock that allows you to keep a code for cleaners and another for repair people — this way you know who is in the house.2.

As far as cameras, placing them outside by entries is a must.

I keep a camera on the front door and HDTV. 

Smart locks, cameras, smart thermostats, automated calendar syncing, smart pricing, etc. self management is very doable and much more profitable

Cut back and forth between the cameras, or if you only have one camera, you're good. 4.

Also her and her weird *** husband has cameras everywhere even in the bathroom!
