Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old, Margot.

This isn't something I would leave to Bigger Pockets forums the laws vary widely by state so it would probably be best to look up the law or talk to a professional in your area, (not over the internet) who knows what they are talking about.

Another meth head broke into the 3 story house and tried to steal the internet signal.

It's a remote location, 1/2 hour from 'downtown', with terrible internet and cell service.But, it's got waterfall views and an acre of forest, so it's a great vacation rental. 

You are obviously an investor and you have left a footprint substantiatin that all over the internet (At least on this board you have) so, it wouldn't be difficult for someone to allege misrepresentation of intent.

The reason i wasn't particularly concerned is because my target area is a popular investor / small business owner area and you can see bandit signs on every street corner from wholesalers, lawn services, tv internet services, junk car removal services and others.

The votes generally work to promote value-added posts...but the ineffective internet gutter posts get voted up too.

I plan to put in around $10k to modernize it and bring to comps renting for $1,300 per month, which includes all bills (water, internet, etc. )With the improvements to the area, I can see it being a long buy and hold play. 

@Luis Barberi That is also a good thing, it will probably be a little difficult unless the company has enough size to be talked about on the internet, but either way, be very diligent and aware and you will do great.

Internet, mail, newspaper, print, signs, business cards, door knocking, etc etc etc.......
