House Flip Security

Good evening,

My flip was just broken into this weekend. Fortunately, we don't keep too many items at our flip, but a compressor and miter saw were stolen, along with some material we had just purchased.

I've used the Ring Jobsite camera in the past, but it was bugging out on me a lot and I didn't put it up on this flip. The nice thing is that it provides its own internet, which I need.

I'm sure some of you have experience with jobsite security. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

My strategy is to try and make the property look occupied. First thing I take care of on a flip is the landscaping. Keep the grass short and bushes trimmed. I try to not put a dumpster at the property until the last possible moment. For local flips I have even gone as far as parking my spare vehicle at the house.
