Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

@Chris Howie yeah, generally speaking it's going to be 8% - 12%...but don't let that freak you out.  

Most of the time LRO will fall into the "Standard Market" meaning you are going to get a competitive price and comprehensive coverages no matter where you are, generally speaking.   

Of course you don't want to send salesy stuff, instead send something that anyone will find interesting (85% to 95% of people in your sphere are likely not buying or selling in the next year anyway, your info needs to speak to them). -- Anything that helps them increase the value, safety, or enjoyment of their real estate - or their future real estate - is a no-brainer.

Make sure you speak with someone with authority when you call. 

But for typical security use, I would check local legislation then move on to installing with full disclosure in common areas both interior and exterior as you planned on doing keeping boundaries of quiet entitlement in mind. 

If you insist on going further, start by speaking to local law enforcement.

Deliberately have a few challenges in your screening process - it will weed out "entitlement mentality" problems4) Allow payment plans, but create system to track when payments due, so they don't keep falling further behind You will need to call them on due dates or they will fall further behind Be prepared to give a strong NO when asked if you will change rent due dates to "make it easier" for tenants to pay rent based upon their SSI or paycheck dates.

So he’s guided me the best he can but the language he speaks is foreign and I need residential guidance I believe.

If anyone would be willing to speak to me directly that would be fantastic.
