It may be that the landlord requires that they approve any work ahead of time, so there would be a link for them to follow to digitally approve the vendor or job ahead of time.This is one of those topics I have had bouncing around in my head for a long time - and one that could really use some effective software support.Cheers,Robert

Has anyone ever put up a camera or BLE beacon in a property during a renovation to see if a contractor actually showed up to work on the place?

The reason I never use custom calculators is that I don't know if they 1. used the proper formulas and 2. what assumptions they made and 3. the degree of rounding used (I go out for the full 8 digits). 

This is one of my favorite success stories to hear, having a background in digital marketing.

Shanequa J.I didn't have a camera when I went through in August but will be going back in on the 14th and will take pics to post.

You need fences, security systems that allow and control access, cameras and video systems to watch over the place.

While I am not going to say that the market will not have another double digit decline, I would not count on it either.

I will see if it is cleaned up enough to send you a digital copy.

I have modeled out the cash flows / total return  and using very conservative assumptions, if you take into account the amortization, you will generate a high single digit, tax free return initially (perhaps much greater as rents/ property values increase - over time) ... this to me is a much more appealing place for a portion of my money than stocks or bonds at this point. - Any thoughts you may have would be appreciated ...Also does anyone have thoughts on adjacent markets in the area - or across the country that have better returns? 

Obviously, the small multi family $1M or below you can still see higher single digit cap's depending on neighborhood, etc.Let me know if I can assist with any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese
