Think about getting pro photos, using services to check renters, or hiring someone to manage your property to make things easier.Good luck!

In Charlotte, NC and in Charleston, SC, we have such an extreme lack of inventory, especially at the lower end of affordability- seller's aren't giving up their 2.99% interest rate to downsize and pay more for a home with a higher rate, so they are staying on the sidelines. and Builders cannot ramp up fast enough, and are being very cautious due to interest rates, coupled with inflation, where their goods and services also cost more to build homes- and, after 2008-2010, where many got burned, and badly, they are super cautious.

this is somewhat true. depending on the size of the "skeleton". what we found from being in renovations for 8 years and new construction for the last 5 years nationally is that what actually makes the money is design, entitlement, land acquisition, etc. you can pull every lever in new construction. it's more active and you have all the control. if you don't make money it's your own fault. talk to any lender who looks at deals they would agree. banks prefer ground up at the regional level who see deals than existing renovations.

Experts in the field actually don't recommend removing that.

And obviously, it rarely cash flows unless you can find property with an existing source of income that can be added to (a savvy strategy actually). 

I have found places that do them but they are credit unions and you have to live in a state they service (which I don't)...

How much of that do you think actually goes to the handyman?

It's best to discuss this with potential tenants before they sign the lease to see if they are comfortable with having cameras on the property.As for providing internet service, it could turn into a headache.

I am wondering if there is a data service that addresses my needs as someone seeking to buy vacant lands at tax deed sales.

If so, just contact the loan servicer.
