Because of the way the deal is structured we are still under the insurance policy that he had in place (his is much less than we can currently insure the structure for).The manager has offered to put the set in his backyard (he lives in the single family home) so it can be monitored easily.What advice would you give me in this situation?

When you give them the notice that you're inspecting the unit, monitor your property closely to see if they're moving things out temporarily, or hiding things before you get a chance to see.

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this but since it is for a MFP, I figured I would start here.I am giving consideration to installing cameras on the exterior of the property to monitor the front door, side entrance, back yard and front yard.Has anyone installed these?

For vacant houses I like having a monitored burglar alarm.

I have a similar issue in a new 6 family investment that requires hard wired fire alarms (in NJ).This phone line is costing me $670 a year, more than the actually cost of the fire alarm monitoring system which is $400 a year.Does anyone know of a better solution?

I just had an idea, wondering if anyone has done this (or if you even CAN do it).In the industry I work in, its pretty common to have remote monitoring devices for all sorts of things, ie: temperature, water flow, etc.

One of our clients who regularly invests in real estate said that it took them less than 2 hours to analyze 4 investment properties.... a task that they said used to take them 1 to 2 days to complete.This program is a cash-flow management tool... and acts like a "Financial GPS" system... looking for the quickest way to zero debt, paying the least amount of interest.The ONLY thing we get asked from people who actually look at the DEMO version of the program and take the time to learn what this is about is...Couldn't I just do this myself?

He bought us a GPS (which we really didn't need since the iPhone works just fine) and a big corporate looking printer to keep paperwork on hand so we could scratch out properties we viewed.  

I don't know that your tenant will like it if they feel like they are being "monitored" in their back yard, but even a fake camera can go a long way toward deterring unwanted behavior by the neighbors.
