The amount of time it takes someone to learn how to properly do SEO on their own, therefore "no cost", and then to actually do the SEO and then continue to monitor and improve SEO doesn't seem to return enough added value to overcome just paying someone to do that for them.

@Matthew Keeney I would talk to a few of the people who are 'plan providers' that will chime in here (some of them monitor from their work emails so might not chime in until Monday or so).

You can't expect the realtor to monitor the MLS drip he/she sends to your email. 

How is compliance monitored?

There's no foolproof way to know for sure if a house is vacant anyway, save for maybe checking for an installed electric meter or monitoring water usage.

You just have to monitor it each month and keep an eye on things but it's very little effort.

I've been reading that experts recommend freezing your credit with each of the credit reporting agencies as a better defense (compared to credit monitoring) against the Equifax and other data breaches.

But I wouldnt reccomend it for someone who isnt going to be there to monitor it, or if you dont have a really good PM who knows the area and is willing to do it.

@Maxwell Milholland you need to monitor the market for a few months.
