No, but I once had a someone break into one of my properties by pulling the power meter in order to bypass a security system.

When I'm sifting through potential investments I do a simple rough estimate using the 4 square system to evaluate the potential cash flow.

I had to pay for an appraisal on both properties as not all their properties work for the implied value system they use.

The price you were quoted is 1) a HUGE spread so something fishy is going on 2) a new system for a house 1,400 sq ft would only run about $8,000 with completely brand new duct work on the entire house, new compressor, and new furnace.

That doesn't last long because you end up with hours a day you are not selling and just helping others sell.I would recommend talking to other agents in the area and see what kind of support systems are available.

The potential to save $10-15k doing a slab versus a basement is what make building in these neighborhoods make financial sense.

It might not sound like much but my entire smart home system as it is currently installed (video doorbell, smart thermostat, smart fire alarm, and 2 water leak sensors) is 300. 

If the tenant is truly in the wrong and you have proof, and you have not done anything wrong as the landlord, it should be a pretty open and shut case in the eyes of the law, and the system will get that tenant out of your property. 

It really hit on something that I know I need to do but put off and never get done, which is to put proper systems in place.
