For my rental properties, I have a keyed deadbolt and a electronic keyless entry pad on the front door.

Don't know that I would volunteer paving/concrete pads, but if he required it, that would still work.

@Chris GallickIf your really worrIed you could always Take the money that you would give the special landlord insurance company and put it in a savings account each month and then of coarse you also have the tenants security deposit .. if something happens your covered or atleast have a nice padded buffer for evictions ,damage , etc without a big hit and if you don’t need it you still have your little fund for other expenses / updates

If you are required to operate from a personal account, the only drawback may be setting up PADs for your tenant rent payments.   

"However when (insert protected class) had a mouse urinate on her wedding dress stored in the basement you didn't pay to have it professionally cleaned".Just my 2 cents and good luck on whatever you decide.

Including pad it goes for several years.

Hey @Dylan Tettemer I would agree with @John Walker give yourself some padding for security on your numbers if you havent already.If repairs SHOULD be $20k I'd tack on at least another $5k for unforeseen things.Add a couple weeks to your rehab timeline and an extra month of holding costs, as well as figuring in for a lower rent... all this just to be on the safe side. 

You can use the mouse on the computer and literally descend from outer space to the street level or slightly above tree top level and fly around anywhere you want to see before you get there and have an idea of the lay of the land.

Take a look at Craigslist, Zillow, Hot Pads etc for your area and look for comparable homes.

Excess food lying around is the main reason for mouse to vist your property.
