Hi all, I am in feasibility period and walking through every unit for physical inspection.

This best practice is no different than if you receive a physical check from a tenant.

But I am also witnessing as well as organizing a newer more scalable model providing for a more cloud-based, remote, less-than-full service--model that is appealing for a large amount of investors and property owners who are interested in receiving many of the traditional services (rent collection, bookkeeping, leasing, noticing, maintenance coordination, answering phones, etc.) but who would be willing to pay about 1/2 the monthly fee in exchange for participating by physically being present to allow access, showings, servicing notices, etc.

The internet is not one physical location but an amalgamation of locations whereas real estate is a specific place in the universe.

BUT, I am not asserting myself enough and I need to show them, that this is my house and if it happens again, their property will physically be removed from my property via a tow truck.

Many who do this business remotely have developed some solid systems in place that alleviate the need for a physical presence, along with some "boots on the ground" as well.

What I am wondering is that it *sounds* to me like an owner who is wanting to exchange up can either put their physical property or the funds from the relinquished property into a 'temporary partnership'.

Here you can always change the date from today and go back 30-60 or 90 days.But you'll still have to physically go down to the court house (civil) to research and scrub the files for real estate. 

I'm a fan of simple--but thoughtful--physical USPS letters.

For example, I’m new and been driving for dollars writing letters to physically distressed properties.
