For reference, we have a duplex north of 70 on lilley ave that we get $1400 a month per unit, its 2 bed 1.5 bath, but its completely rehabbed, we are pet friendly, we provide Ring doorbells, security cameras and security system for each unit, and the rent includes water, trash, sewer. 

Turns out they smoked in my house (against the rules) snuck a dog into my house (against my rules because one of my kids has allergies), then they looked right at my ring camera and said "I know you are watching" and then threw their cigarette butt out on the ground.  

It just keep going up and adding up and after a while I was like Oh my god what the hell- Where is a camera when you need one.The tv shows look so easy- Go over budget just add an extra xxx to the price and house sold.

Thats Awesome.Do you pay someone to take them or you have a high resolution camera.

Then you can easily program door codes and install a security camera if you choose.

Tenants who move into SFH generally stay longer and have fewer turns.Multi-family also suffers from common use costs, trash, lighting, security cameras, landscape.To automatically discount SFH as simply a stepping stone is short-sided.  

I was an NPI Engineer, then a Process Development Engineer, then Design Engineer, and now I'm a Manufacturing Engineer making thermal imaging cameras. 

This is what I use for exactly that purpose:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/kubaf/fil...When I first do a walk through on a property I use this while I walk the property with my camera phone in hand to record the whole place top to bottom narrating the whole thing.  

Next thing cops show up, confiscate all computers in the 4 plex, cameras, cell phones..Kiddie porn was issue and it took several months before the cops were satisfied the landlord had nothing to do with it.. but stress, lawyer fees and grief all could have been avoided if the password and internet access was not shared.

Pay the summons and then pay for a camera.
