Someone stole my A/C!

Hey bigger pockets!

   Im sure this has been brought up before but I just want to share a very important piece of advice! Make sure you get an A/C cage!!!

  Being on the Fire Department and working in the areas I have, I have heard about this problem many times. But Yesterday I learned a very important lesson. Always have a security system and always have an A/C cage for every project; period. Criminals will steal your A/C for 50$ of scrap metal and cost you thousands. This is becoming more and more prevalent in nicer areas and commercial districts. 

 The criminals will ride around town and look for construction dumpsters and unoccupied homes like homes for sale. If you are a real estate investor, YOU ARE THE PERFECT TARGET!

 The best way I have found to avoid this is if you have the skills, weld a new cage on yourself. If you don't a local welder will come do it for about 150$. Premade cages are generally 300$ plus 100$ to install. Hope this helps everyone.

 Flip diary and project share coming up!

 Respectfully,

Scott Dorsett
