make sure on your initial walk-throughs that all windows are locked. This may not seem like a big deal but it’s a really way to keep a vacant property safe.
Chat with the neighbors, the quicker you can build a relationship with the neighbors, the safer your property will generally be. They want a safe neighborhood and generally don’t mind keeping an eye out.
Take your tools home every night, but if you can’t, make sure to put them in a area of the home that they cannot be seen from the outside.
Change all door locks upon purchase.
Install a lock box for the keys, you can use this code for all trusted contractors and realtors.

Keep all job sites swept up. This is a great way to maintain a safe and productive work environment.
