Also, I constantly monitor the MLS and setup alerts in different areas I am farming and make aggressive offers quickly and methodically.

Really great service, and we've had very few time when the server was down in the past decade, and the handful of times, it was back up within minutes (and we monitor all of our sites for up-time, so we get alerts when they are down, so it's not like it ever went down without us knowing).

However, as I am monitoring the prices in NYC it is not going down at this point.

I recently had this crazy question, "what if I could live here in VA and invest in a market that is closer to my financial situation." but then other questions come up such as how would I see the property, monitor is up dating, and sell it with out leaving VA.

Monitor where your mail goes, etc, etc.

If your tenant is concerned about safety, then maybe they can install a security system at their cost (installation & monitoring).

It would be a little more costly, but if you were planning to wire each of your units with an electronic lock and proximity sensor as part of your building monitoring/management system, the incremental would be small.  

But the true be told you CAN improve your score, it just takes some hard work.And remember if you do get back on track monitor your credit daily.

My first thought is honesty about the situation and that we will continue to monitor it.Thanks everyone for the thoughts and posts!

The realtor association in our area can’t monitor it because the agents are so sly it can be proven that it is happening.
