I guess I’ll find out as mine will be listed sooner than later. 

From the tenant's perspective:Having lived in a garden style multi-unit where people would "only smoke outside" they would inevitably step away from their unit and step in front of mine, where it would drift into my apartment.

I drive a rusty Nissan Altima so mine is 250:1Here's how you can determine your ratio with a fictional example:$250,000 income: $10,000 Camry = 25:1

The bills (including groceries) will all be paid instantly when my check is direct deposited, my savings will be automatically withdrawn from my paychecks so I never even see it, and what's left over is mine allocate as I see fit.

What you mentioned about being ethical and putting yourself in the tenants' shoes is basically following the GOLDEN RULE: do unto others what you want others to do unto you.And the golden rule has made me "gold".I rehab my properties to be at a level higher than the market where it is at.

I have a few friends of mine who are investing in the Hampton Roads and Norfolk Area.

I am working on the assumption that the house isn't mine until I have the deed, and if it for some reason the foreclosure can't be completed I only get the money back that paid at the auction.

2) Does anyone have experience installing such systems into their home, specifically an old home such as mine?

A friend of mine bought a four bedroom two bath in Merced new construction for 250K.

I'm based in NJ and have one property thus far to call mine - my home.
