So I'm going through my steps to make my properties as self sufficient as possible to allow me to move to another city and invest from far away. My plan is to move between cities every two or three months but I'm putting in place systems to see if I can manage all my rental properties for one year without visiting any of them.
One of the systems I am thinking about is a wireless 4g camera. Sounds expensive but look how cheap - 150 per camera and 20 per month. The catch is that it doesn't look weatherproof. I may have to look for a different model but it sure looks cool.
My thoughts for the cameras is that I have several pockets of properties where there are a couple next to each other. I can point the camera from one house to the next, etc. It will also tell me if the grass is being cut, exterior maintained, etc. The camera has a motion sensor so I can see who is coming and going. Helpful for tenant skips, breakins, etc.
