Until you procure an interest from someone in the chain of title, you have no claim to the property and no claim to open up a probate action.

You do not want to make the mistake some wholesalers do by getting the seller to sign an agreement giving you a commission for procuring a buyer.

We also include Internet and "television" (along with a flatscreen television in each lounge/living room) in our offering and just bake it all into the rent.This does not mean that we do not monitor and endeavour to control resource consumption - we are always making improvements to the building envelope; have installed LED lighting; use low-flow plumbing fixtures; have programmable thermostats and our own building monitoring system.Our objective is to provide our student tenants with a quiet, healthy accommodations complete with all the needed amenities at a cost which is less than a residence room at the university itself.In that light, @Al Williamson is steering you in the right direction - provide them with amenities not at your cost, but at a cost less than they could procure the service themselves.

Account Closed  I do want to emphasize that the leads my father was procuring was for folks wanting to BUY property.. and he was a RE broker selling property.... and most if not all folks doing direct mail are looking to buy or wholesale property.. and as such if the properties are owner occ.. then I think its darn effective.. since hardly anyone does door hangers anymore.... so your message would get looked at.. but if there non owner occ . then I think its not going to be effective with tenants the tenants are not going to hand it over to the owner.so really depends on your owner occ to non owner occ ratios in the neighborhoods your working.if its burnt out landlord syndrome.. then door hangers probably are not effective at all.but if your looking for owners who want to sell I see this as being quite effective.. given the rules and laws of each town.. many towns do not permit door hangers anymore.To further Gorrilla marketing. 

Turns out he is married and his wife was charged with "procurement of prostitution" in 2014 but it appears not convicted.

@Dan CrenshawIf the boiler has an anti-freeze setting, I would have it enabled and configured, if not, you can install a control to override the internal thermostat which will keep the house at a minimum temperature and will run the boiler every X minutes/hours as a freeze prevention.We have it written in the lease that tenants must maintain a minimum heat of 10C in the unit even when they are away, and that they will be responsible for any costs arising from frozen plumbing within the conditioned space of the unit.Where this is not the first time your tenants have done this I would pass though the service costs to them.  

For investors I will either put in the specific property address (for one-off representations) or something general like "all properties for which [insert brokerage name] is the procuring cause"

But since procuring this unit, it never performed in reality. we had civil fines, followed by an eviction and a $10,000 rehab(because the tenant has caused some serious damages) and continue to burn with expense of some or the other way...($500 / month -expense related to  swage line , appliance one or the other every month eating up the rent)wanted to see if any other investors having similar issues with Freedom group. 

A colleague of mine would like to put up the money and I'll take care of the procurement, management, etc.
