They truly don't put the time, energy, and expense into locating property owners (many of which do not even want to sell) in order to buy their raw, un-entitled land.If you're a big builder, your phone is ringing with people or their representatives wanting to sell you their land.

But… you could ask for a bank statement and/or a cellphone bill from say, 3 months after the other residency is supposed to have started.

You will be surprised how often that will get you more information...often critical information.Second, if at all possible, try to get on the phone with the landlord prior to the current landlord. 

Still no word from him, until I called his phone and talked to him. 

Everything is in writing & signed by tenant & landlord - no verbal promises  If they ask you to fix something, write up a work order on the spot or ask them to send you an email/text request (sneaky way to get proper email & phone #).  2.

You can also do a skiptrace to find their address and or phone number as well.

I'm open to phone calls, FaceTimes, and meetups—whatever works best!

Or the 14 streaming subscriptions, and man alive there is a new i-phone that has 7 cameras and it's "only" $4,000 I mean how could one possibly go without the 7th camera come on, and the current phone is like soooooooo old you've had it like 6 whole months....... wtf.....
