Should be able to setup motion detection to notify you if someone goes in.The traditional alarm companies like ADT will require installation fee, monthly fee, and a 2+ year contract.Motion activated lights may help? 

There's Stanley marketplace out that way, and I think more development will push into Aurora at some point ... if not this cycle, then the next one. 

You can also look at Facebook Marketplace to see what other people are posting in the area for rent by the room prices, as well as having a general understanding of rents for an entire unit through a tool such as Rentometer.com can give you a baseline to work with, and then obviously lower your price from there because it is a shared living space.

Hey folks,I'm interested to hear the BP community's thoughts on whether we could be on the brink of a wage / price spiral in the U.S.A wage / price spiral occurs when wages increase (which is occurring), and those increased wages cause the prices of goods and services to increase (inflation, which is also occurring), and that increased inflation causes wages to increase more, and the cycle continues on and on until you're paying $100 for a loaf of bread.A bit more specifically, the theory is: increases in wages creates more discretionary money that people use to buy more goods and services (demand goes up), and this increased demand causes prices to go up (inflation increases), that increased inflation increases demand for higher wages (workers will only work jobs that pay enough to afford the costs of the inflated goods and services), and those higher wages increase the cost of production of goods and services, which increases the price of those goods and services (more inflation).I've seen a variety of opinions on this topic...Some people think we're already in a wage / price spiral, or that we're on the brink of one (for instance, see this Marketplace article: https://www.marketplace.org/20... )   ...others seem to take the perspective that a wage / price spiral is a "dangerous myth" (for instance, see this article from the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute: https://www.cato.org/commentar... )What we do know: the two main ingredients for a wage / price spiral (increasing wages and increasing inflation) are present. 

Some post here on the Bigger Pockets Marketplace.

@Olly Cossio Have you checked out the market place on BP to see if you can get some support on this?

My wife and I have our kitchen renovations down to 1500$-2000 by shopping on Facebook marketplace for used cabinets, fridges, stoves, and etc.

When looking in the rural areas, look at Facebook marketplace, Zillow, and Craigslist for rentals.

You can also go straight to listing on Craigslist or FB Marketplace, but there are no guarantees those people can close.

Start by marketing the property online, such CL or Facebook Marketplace and see what type of traffic you receive.
