If you can't do it yourself, having someone within driving distance to receive packages, assemble, get the wifi set up, label remotes or light switches, make the kitchen functional, change out your door locks or put cameras up, etc, as well as the decorating and making the place comfortable and appealing for your guests is a must.

If you plan on doing showing yourself remotely, you may also want to invest in a few digital items (lock or even camera). 

,I took better pictures yesterday with my DSLR camera and in the daylight.

- 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 keep a camera in my car and snap a picture of all signs that say "I Buy Homes" or Stop Foreclosure or whatever.

Thanks in advance.Yash You will need internet to monitor the cameras remotely.

Security wise, we can see all of our units cameras that have internet, any time on our phones.
