Just be aware that every security system provider I've dealt with has an indemnity clause in it that requires the homeowner to pay the legal fees for the alarm company should a party sue the alarm company as it relates to your house...ie. a burglar breaks in to your house, is startled by the alarm and cuts himself severely, then sues the alarm company.

@Chris BoselliI live in Nashville, accidentally Memphis property wound up in my purchase feed and it startled me how low cost things are.

So be cautious checking out the property you dont want to startle a squatter spending the night. 

We just put a construction project on hold due to this new law I'm startled a bank would accept you stating your rents should be higher than you were charging.

(And if you are interested in thinking about joining Amway, ask me to show you some startlingly low success ratio statistics, first!)

I talked with several of them:- One guy was curious how much rent costs and could he dig expired canned food out of our dumpster- One girl keeps coming back looking for a previous tenant who was arrested + evicted right before I closed on this place - I got startled when she was looking in my window at 6:30 am this morning!

But the high crime, police corruption and overall lack or resources to solve crimes is something to consider for anyone looking to invest or live there as an expat, without a doubt.For the most part the people are very friendly, peaceful and welcoming, but after spending some time there you start to hear about some awful things that happen behind the scenes that tourists are unaware of and which go completely unpunished, which wouldn't happen in a developed country and might be startling for someone used to having more consistent law enforcement. 

LOLI laughed so hard, that she didn't know what was happening, and I laughed and laughed and laughed, and so startled, she left.

The next step is to increase those investments with customer accounts, leverage them, use them for collateral, then.... startling profits! 

You have to learn it anyway, so it's easier to learn about something that you desire, rather than learn about something that the media or others say is "hot".I've been working on a speech about wealth building success that starts with a "startling" title to grab attention - "Diversification is for Suckers".The gist of the talk is that the richest people throughout history made their first fortune from one company.
