However, the exceptions for real estate signs are NOT broad enough to cover bandit signs.

I see a lot of folks get defrauded by internet or mail solicitations.

Today, with the internet, I assume a lot of the screening process for both tenants (credit and criminal check, etc.) and contractors (Angie's List, etc.) can be done long-distance, and easily.

Hey @Jeff RiberThe internet does seem to shrink things a bit. :) I found the site by chance and decided to make a time investment here.

I think you can't broad stroke things on a macro level.Houses here in Georgia I read an article the other day that values are up 12% over last years pricing.There are many markets that are regular appreciation markets.

I'm having difficulty finding info on the internet to verify that that is true..Any truth in that?

Mobile homes, I'd say not to listen to anyone on the internet except @Ken RishelWhen you own it DF gets less complicated...wow, if you are "in the business of" or a non-occupant, that's when the DF issues kick in.All of this has been hashed out hundreds of times on BP.

-Furniture because the costs for investment properties don't include furniture and the maintenance is higher on that,-cable/internet is usually included.

Sorry @Jeremy Sanders, but your question is a little too broad.

Starting out a craig's list ad, an add in the marketplace here on BP and other internet sites, is a good start.
