It's definitely worth investigating.Yes, you can install motion-sensor cameras to monitor vacant rentals, but they require some paid service to monitor remotely (wifi, hotspot, etc.) 

It's always best to start local and then gain experience as you go through the motions as a new landlord. 

We want a camera system that:1) Connects to internet for remote monitoring via an office computer (not just a mobile device)2) Has motion-sensor alerts3) Records to the cloud, so a thief can't disable/steal the camera to hide their identityWe plan to remove these cameras once a property is rented and reinstall at the next vacant rental.Wi-Fi connection to internet is possible, but we'd also like to look into cellular connections to internet.What suggestions do you have please?

Static sign behind your house or lighted until 10pm might be ok, but you might not want one of the newer LED signs that changes ads and colors 24hrs a day.4.I think I would want a monthly lease, not perpetual. 

If you are trying to maximize space you may want to consider convertible sofas and/or one that has a pull out option.As far as material my preference would be a darker neutral color microfiber that would be easier to clean.Possibly most important is looking for one that is commercial grade for durability.

The land deal is slow motion, maybe have something to report on that end in a few weeks.Hope everyone is having a great week!

I was simply answering the question based on if you do use carpet what is a good color?

I find this to look spammy and over-promotional.Use a lot of blue and green, as those colors signal trust and comfort.
