I have been guilty of staying cheap in areas that were cheap...never buy properties in bad area is the best lesson...I had  camera installed and saw thief cut the main power line and steal the cameras in Joliet and police reports and police is waste of time and insurance can be expensive...I have had simplisafe wireless alarm system that is great for identifying who comes in and leaves..because you can assign codes to each worker.if you could have a combo system of simplisafe  or another wireless system with a camera system combo that captures who is going in and out might be your best option...you need alarm system with video capture because we still have people leaving garbage in parking lot that alarms can't prevent...I have not come across anything better that has active alarm system with videos.

I am sitting on lots of buying power and I need to place money.

@Joe Splitrock We are in the same boat.

An example would be the seller needing an extended closing date due to move out issues, power of attorney issues, title issues between siblings or heirs, etc.Changes in the type of loan (FHA vs Conventional) used mid-way can also trigger the need.
