For example, you can't deduct the same telephone expense in both the management company and the rental company.Here's the way you might consider setting this up:LLC #1 = Buy and Hold LLCLLC #1 = Managers LLCBuy and Hold LLC purchases a property and pays to fix up the property.  

I would focus on single-family homes with assessed values / size near the neighborhood medians, non-corporate homeowners, that have owned the property for at least 10 years.I want to humbly stress though, I would not send any mail until you have a detailed call script, telephone capture system, follow-up system, and a direct actionable plan upon actually contracting with a homeowner.

Paul I did not receive your telephone voicemail last week 

Or,  http://nad.org/issues/telephone-and-relay-services...

He never received our copy of the agreement, so all we're left with is the hard copy original.My wife and I reverse traced his telephone and fax numbers and they lead to his office, which owns and operates a small coney island chain in the area.

Sounds like a waste of time battling for space on a telephone pole when you can change your marketing route and do something that's different than what others are doing.

Discussing areas not to invest in is probably best done via telephone but Atlanta is a fantastic place to invest.

I would definitely find a realtor to help you with the search as well as negotiating and the paperwork.You can also drive your neighborhood or the area where you want to live and look for multi-family properties and then find the owner's address or telephone number and contact them to see if they're interested in selling. 

Also, by using M2M agreements, you can avoid having to engage in a renewal process every year or so.I would contact the tenant now about November rent, either face to face or by telephone.
