Looking for immediate advice! Some suspicious people wondering around my rehab

[Emily Allen]

Hi everyone! I need some immediate help here. I've been working on renovating a rental for a few weeks now. This morning when I arrived at the house at 8:30, there are three suspicious people standing at the back of my house, and they immediately run away when saw me.

I am very worried about they'll come back and do something when no one is here. What would you recommend? Should I get a security system set up right away? Will the self-installed ones for ~ $150 work just fine or shall I go for one with a contract? I think security system can be a plus when I rent this home out.

Alternatively, maybe I can find someone to watch the house. The problem is that water isn't on yet. So I'm not sure I can find a reasonable person who won't mind the inconvenience.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm so worried about losing everything I've been putting into this house so far!!!

Thank you all!
