If you haven't, download one of the free credit monitors so you can get an idea.

My property is pretty well seasoned and I only need to visit once every few weeks and also monitor the property via security cameras from home.

In these instances we charge a flat rate of $100/mth for a SFR - that covers collecting rents & paying bills, ensuring services are delivered, monitoring the property and the occasional simple/light maintenance.

Ultimately, I decided to purchase an apartment building in Chicago, but continue to monitor Cleveland and Cincy for future opportunities.

Knowing that's how we monitor welding for safety, I wouldn't want to have that responsibility over a tenant on my property.

It contacts the monitoring company through cell technology.

Download app to both devices, activate an account on the one to be used as camera, sign in on the monitoring device & you're done.There is also an app for the android but with so many of the kids iPhones floating around I haven't bothered to review it.

Maybe distribute flyers throughout the neighborhood that code enforcement with officials will be monitoring the neighborhood for the next 2 months for the "neighborhood watch" and reporting violations to the police, housing authority, census, DHS ...etc.

When I'm training someone at my job, I show them once or twice and then monitor them doing it a few times.

How do you manage and monitor your projects from afar when things are starting to go left, especially when facing communication and progress issues with contractors?
