How can you best protect and secure distressed and vacant investment properties?

Intruders of all kinds are attracted to vacant buildings. Here are some tips to protect your property:

1. Befriend your neighbors – having a couple of extra eyes to keep a watch over your property is always a plus. Make sure to share your contact information (or the property manager’s) so they can call if they see anything suspicious.
2. Light up your property so it looks lived in – make sure it has exterior lights and even interior lights on timers.
3. Carry insurance – both vacant and in-renovations process properties need insurance coverage to protect the structure themselves and your liability as owner. A risk policy that provides coverage for damage to the insured structure and liability coverage during renovation might be needed.
4. Equip your vacant property with steel door and window guards – DAWGS door and window guards are better than board-up and are perfect to protect your vacant home from trespassers and prevent vandalism.
