I also lock exterior A/C circuit boxes and label the units, cage and circuit box with A/C specific alarm stickers that I had made up.I will frequently install an inexpensive alarm system (not monitored) which gives me peace of mind between tenants and acts as a selling point when showing the units.I've doubled up on door stops (to prevent doorknobs from going into walls).

I am not plugged in to those things yet, but am planning to monitor both Harlem and Thompson for new development proposals. 

You have to monitor the PM.

Friends, help me understand something... re $100 per door theory:Rentsless PITIless fixed incidentals for specific SFR (IF included: security monitoring; utilities; etc.)less what else?

Its not a secret to anyone that a junk contractor or one that is looking to cut corners are all well monitored or not even allowed to operate in the city.Finally, you do not want to begin any process with anyone that is seeking to evade or circumvent rules and manipulate the system.

Sounds like a good business niche to exploit, landlord monitoring.

Additional supply can derail things and how do you monitor for that?

However once in a while (once in 3-4 years) things need to be closely monitored due to a non-paying tenant, lease negotiations, refinance etc.I will post to the tax sub-forum to see if I can Get Charles/Steven to answer.

Any deposit escrow I know does come back in that scenario.I stayed away this time, but next time will be more prepared as well.By the way, I know of at least 2 of those homes are back on the market as REO'sThe auction does not publish what the sold prices were, but I will continue to monitor those to see what they finally did sell for.

Monitoring what has been done, in case something is wrong, who solves it, in case there is a need for an emergency cash, who takes care of it, in case that problem needs to be resolved within an hour, how do you handle it?
