The weatherproof camera housings for traditional CCTV cameras can fit the small wired cameras The SimpliSafe cameras, at $99 a pop, simply don't stack up to that kind of camera value for what you actually need cameras for: getting evidence, monitoring outside approaches and porches, watching specific approaches.

I am working so hard to build my passive income portfolio & this house fits all of the criteria that are important to me in regards to a rental property.

I would like to build a portfolio which can help get me out of the rat race Recently it dawned on me how much of my cash flow goes to pay my mortgage and after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and learning about the mindset of my home actually being a liability rather than an asset if it's not providing some income, my goal is to sell my home and move into an owner occupied rental property to immediately increase my cash flow for other investment opportunities.I just joined NHREIA in December and now I'm getting my wife on board with the idea of getting into a 2 or 3 family or even a single family with an in law that we can rent out at a bear minimum.I would love to get connected to people locally and if anyone has properties they are selling that fits my definitely im all ears.thanks everyone and good to meet you!

I really feel this area is a much better fit for either fix-and-flips or AirBNBs. 

If I could have found any that fit my criteria at the time I bought I think I might have preferred it.

Additionally I was afraid of the tenant’s relatives because he was from a place known for gang violence and one of his relatives living in the other seemed to fit that mold.
