@Scott Schnabel actually, the cities of Hazel Park and Warren require a DL from someone at the PMC and write the tickets in their personal name.

Keep an eye on those delinquency rates and ensure that the property manager is proactive in rent collection.Maintaining open lines of communication with property managers is also part of the process.

One can write a lot on a piece of paper and tenants will sign it - and then promptly forget about all of it and misplace their copy.

Ourcurrent approach involves identifying possible contact information for thelisted owners and calling multiple numbers, but this process is time-consumingand yields limited results.

@Grace Chee The process for this is time sensitive, you should have gotten a TRIM notice around late August, early September.

And I've even walked the heirs through the process.

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

The process must be understood and applied to team building, investing your and 3rd party capital, and financial deal structure with debt and equity sources. 

Do you have a VA or one of those agencies that manages the whole process for you?

This also allows for property owners to more easily write-off assets that get damaged/destroyed as the value of these assets is determined as part of the study.
