Generally, they give different levels for - locally ringing alarm- centrally monitored Fire or Burglar alarm- Central Stations reporting Burglar and Fire alarmCheck with your agent to see what the different credits are.

Vacancy won't be an issue in this area and pretty confident it will be filled up as it's near to almost everything like train stations, grocery stores, hospitals etc. 

In these hills, we have some owners who live on site, they simply put some pads out in the pasture years ago and a dump station, one I know has a septic system to hook up to.

It is possible they may turn around due to a nice downtown and proximity to the metro station that can take people straight to downtown LA.

Better options or bite the bullet?

When you make the slices really small, it is not investing as much as a decision to pick up a snack when you are checking out at the gas station.

I really like the property - so my thinking is that I should convince a bank to do a conventional loan for the cash out refi (easier said then done, I'm finding), but rely on the Fannie program for my next acquisitions....or bite the bullet and sell after Thanksgiving when I reach the 1 year holding period for long term capital gains.Great insight - thanks again for your help!

Here the City spent over 30K removing wipes from one sewer lift station last autumn (they have four more pumps that are partially clogged) and took over 3-tonne of them to the landfill.

I'm also currently selling a gas station, on the East coast of Florida, that a CA tax deed fund had bought without all the facts, and has ended up spending thousands and thousands of dollars in EPA issues for leaking gas tanks.
