@Joe XieReport to craigslist and continue to monitor the site in case it comes back up.

I monitor the Houston forum, so I have read many of your posts - The primary theme I see in your posts is that you generously offer your time and expertise to new investors and allow a group of new or wannabe investors the opportunity to walk your flips and tag along with you while you are looking for or working on a project - very generous of you - I see that you were able to give an amazing opportunity to a new investor when she may have not had the confidence to move forward on her own without your guidance - I am a fan of collaborating with other investors when you do not have the funds to complete a project on your own ... it can be a win/win opportunity that otherwise would have to be passed up ......However, when I read the details in this post, a few things come to mind - it seems that you used very little of your own money ...$5,000?

I wish I had started hen i was as young as you.To fix the picture problem, Just turn your monitor on it side. 

We tried to go back to the seller and get a credit to do the panels and bring the fire/smoke/CO monitors and alarms up to code, and got shot down.

It will be vacant during the rehab obviously and the work will begin up to 2 weeks after I get the keys.Do you all recommend security monitoring of some sort?

Someone in my Facebook group shared an awesome resource for remotely monitoring properties. https://www.wyzecam.comObviously you would still need wifi but these are way cheaper than Nest Cams and get great reviews. 

As new apartments open across the city in record numbers, vacancy rates have grown, rents have stopped rising and landlords are offering an increasing number of freebies to get tenants in the door.For years, the Seattle rental market was so heated that renters would constantly monitor online listings and quickly show up to available apartments with checkbooks and references in hand.

Slap the new tenants name on the lease Then just monitor....

Most PMs don't deal in LOs so they wouldn't be able to help there either.If you're not in a rush then your best bet is to monitor kijiji and call/text/email every For Sale by Owner ad with a house that matches your criteria and ask if they would consider doing a rent to own.

I am about to start a new rehab project and was thinking about adding some sort of security system in it to monitor who is coming in and out of the house and overall security.
