And that’s pretty close to the response I have planned for anything that was obvious, in plain sight, or as minor as some of the things you listed.

What I have learned is the usefulness of the lead-generating sites is very market-specific.If I were to estimate, in the last two years, my lease-ups came from Craigslist (20%), Apts.com (20%), Zillow (30%) and FB (30%).Most of the responses from my ads come from Zillow (40%) and FB (50%), but most of those leads are woefully unqualified (especially FB). 

thank you for your time..That response is very fair.

Building a strong local team is crucial too.

I emailed Zillow about this issue but have not received a response yet.

Thanks very much for your responses, guys - really helpful.

As long as the custodian company is responsive I wouldn't worry too much.Do your due diligence and make sure the custodian company is legitimate.

I currently own my primary residence where I am responsible for the mortgage.

Thank you everyone for your feedback.I have decided NOT to accept the offer from SINGH based on the responses I received on Biggerpockets along with some other insight...Logic prevails.Thank you againDoug

Other Suggestions: Are there alternative strategies I haven’t thought of that would allow us to move legally and responsibly under the current circumstances?
