Sorry for your loss.I have been considering a cell based alarm system for when one of my properties is empty.

The only thing I know, is that through some real estate training I went through, the creator of that system said he pays $5 per lead to bird dogs which includes: -Property Address -General assessment of the property condition -At least 6 pictures of the exterior He also said if the bird dog also includes the name of the owner, their address, and phone number(via a property records search through the county) that he pays them $10 per lead.

Find a system that's proven then adopt it.

Analysis paralysis usually happens when you question your system you're using to analyze.

I knew investors couldn't bid during the initial period I was just confused as to when they transition to investor availability will they take it out of the system and put it back on possibly under a different case number or whatever the process may be.

I went in there with my crew and we redid both bathrooms, completely gutted the kitchen and did new cabinets/granite/stainless appliances, new flooring throughout, popcorn removed and all walls and ceilings retextured and painted, new ceiling fans and light fixtures, new closet systems, new interior doors, new tankless water heater, new HVAC etc.

Make sure you can handle that volume or you've got systems in place to handle that volume.

What I've noticed is that they will often check out ok in the inspection, but major systems will wear faster.

A lot of "professional tenants" know how to work the system, and know all the tricks to play to prolong eviction.

On the other hand some cities might not like that because utlities and addresses feed into the emergency and 911 system and reallocating those is a headache for some localities
