anybody still monitoring?

You just make me having more confidence on my project except one big challenge.It's about cleaning, my house and work both are 100 miles away from Galveston, how can i manage and monitor the clean status of beach house, if i want some maid to help me, according some online information, the cost is never cheap.

Owning a security company, I put an alarm and camera in the property to monitor arrival/departure time as well as a camera to view general progress.

I have cast iron drains that work....I am monitoring them but I have pipe insurance if anything goes wrong.

Rather than buy now I'd rather TRY to buy at the bottom (staying very tuned in to sales and other statistics and using all of my resources to monitor activity).

Unfortunately I think you are going to be forced to monitor the situation, hoping for a violation of the lease, the usual suspects being Pets, Marijuana (not even sure that will work anymore since it is legal), and "use of property as a business" when she is working from home and the lease is residential only.   

There are no exceptions to that law.That's why i think you need to look at direct mail as a marketing PROCESS and monitor your response rate, i.e., 2-5% or whatever.

There are usually some good, local investors that monitor those forums.

I've also had clients get monitored alarm service, add fire suppression systems, etc that would have gotten them discounts had I known.
