preventing vandalism/breaking and entering
Hi there. I'm new to this site and new to real estate investing, and hoping some of you seasoned pros might have some advice for me. I am a real estate agent in the Memphis market, working on rehabbing my first investment property. I bought it at foreclosure and it was in very bad shape - a complete gut job. I'm over half finished with the project, but now am having security issues. I've been lucky so far, but now I'm having a problem. A few nights ago someone broke into the house through the back door by breaking glass and coming on in. We replaced the door and also put up a wrought iron security door on both the front and the back doors. But last night someone broke a window - one of my brand new windows too! I just had them installed last week. Since they know they house is vacant now, I am expecting this to continue unless I can find a way to stop it. Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!
