No mailed check or pick ups.Purchase price 300k and owner is giving 20k towards upgrades/repairs etc  Plan is to install surveillance cameras, lights, paint doors and shutters, 2 water heaters and new signage and minor fixes etc.

(preferably a contractor you know, give them a digital camera and a pocket voice recorder and ask them to visit and give you their opinion.Example...

Especially to my brother who is the talent behind the camera and editing.

My 70 year old nanny has said once:''What does an average person want?

They learn a little lingo grab  a sledge hammer and a camera crew and there you have it. 

Each unit is alarmed with video cameras everywhere.

Ok, I also posted this on a mom's website, and some replies were saying to hire a mommy's helper / babysitter / nanny to assist me with the baby during my real estate "business hours".  

Curious, if the contractor shows-up in an old vehicle, but whips out a drone with a camera on it to inspect the roof, what would you think of them then?  

The cameras are all on the outside of the property, so privacy wouldn't be a problem.

I can close on a 3%-4% property in other markets today in neighborhoods that do not require a police escort, and further in States where I can evict for non-payment without the nanny state telling me to wait for months on end.I'll note a few things about my political fluctuations comment:1) I am not arguing for YOU to not invest here - I do not care what YOU do.
