Physical labor.

I take the physical street address to the assessor office and enter it in the assessor portal.

. #1: most of them lie and tell us that they are actually the principal and not acting as a broker, #2: most recycle product "lists" that have we've seen several times and are quite dated (I recently was offered a package with several notes...3 of which I owned), #3: most try to get too greedy and try to structure the deal so that it doesn't work for us, and #4: most haven't got a clue what they are doing.

Don't know if Buddy has, but I have dealt with both PR's and heirs located outside the U.S.It used to be more of a hassle: for my first international deal I had to overnight physical docs to principal signer.

I've considered wholesaling but being being agent will work best do to my physical access difficulties that make residential more complicated.

Thought the Quicken product was garbage and haven't looked back since switching to Buildium.

I would take that $15k (if you acquire it) and invest it in physical real estate.

I am guessing that water and heating was paid by the last owner as I found one huge water heater and two furnaces during my physical inspection.If I have to pay water and heating for all units plus common area and my rental income is $400 per unit, that will be a BAD investment.

Customary carries more weight in enforcing any agreement than imagination.But, that's what gets attention and ultimately turned into some product, showing something new, different, profitable, unusual or that little know secret method presented with a skewed interpretation of reality or accepted thinking. :)

The exception may be if you personally witnessed an abusive event ... and then it would probably have to be physical abuse before most authorities would take any action (policy forces and the judicial system are just starting to understand other forms of abuse {emotional, financial, etc} ).
