It's on a cul-de-sac so I fixed up the yard, painted the outside and tiled the floors in the units as they became vacant.

Would love to connect with anyone in Delaware/Tri-state area. 

@Chris De CelleGreat advice Chris, just today I found out that two of my friends our using that exact strategy.

@Paul De Luca I'm operating in the chain o lakes area (fox lake) currently.

A lot of factors will come into play when determining the best options here, especially accessibility to power and internet access (if you want remote viewing or cloud storage).For some of our apartment complexes, we have installed owner-paid internet for common areas, for others, we have used cameras that communicate via cellular signal and solar due to lack of power and internet connection.
