Do We Install Alarm Systems in Rental Properties?
July 15th, 2007 Categories: Buying, Keller Williams
I recently converted my home alarm systems from a popluar name brand to a new, not so known name brand system but I am getting great service and the hardware is totally meeting my expectations. My new system has a better touch pad and monitoring service. In agreeing to do the conversion from popular system to not so known system I got a new ‘free’ system panel, new motion detectors, more detectors for all windows and doors and better monitoring from ‘ground control’. I even have a cell phone back up plan.
I thought all this made my vendor worth mentioning. My new provider, APX Alarm Systems, is providing great service with excellent hardware. Check ‘em out- Dont worry about telling them I sent you. I just like to mention it when I get good service. Hopefully you can have the same experience.
To elaborate on the title of this entry though….. I’m thinking of installing this system in my investment properties but I cant help but wonder if it would matter? Is it worth going through the install and increasing my monthly debt the amount of the monitoring in the name if increasing the value or rentability of a rental property? Realizing of course it always good to have the safety aspects of an alarm system do people even care about this when searching for a place to live. I have never had a request for an alarm system…Have you?
