I've never gone into someplace alone, but have gone to check the exterior and the neighborhood.

I even put my magnetic "we buy houses" sign, with my 1-800 number, on my truck.

Ensure that the PM has keys to all exterior doors.Compare EVERYTHING to the tenant's move-in condition form.

Please beware that the lady that stays there has lots of magnets along with other things.

Print my Ads, Magnets, etc.4.

Yes I have call magnets, I have three different ads and buisness cards.i have recieve some calls but they where all cold.

Pretty sure this is how it works out .I have walked the exterior of the property numerous times now,not sure if I like the looks of a very big retainer wall holding backearth in the rear, but everything else looks great, to me anyways ..

I think some types of people would prefer an investor be backed by a company that adds credibility, than a one-off investor with a magnet on the sied of his car.
