If you decide to move forward with them I highly suggest you alert them to the fact that you will be recording all phone conversations, and do just that.

(On Maple Street only about 3 blocks long I owned 12 houses...once I bought into the street I found value and became known as a cash buyer who maintained their properties so my phone rang and I shook hands on the street to keep it ringing.)Always check ARIES the Lucas County Auditor site.

We take it a step further and even attach the owners email and cell phone number.

Or, if you are lucky, the put the info into your phone.

For 10+ years, Engelo has stressed in every phone call, email, podcast, blog, newsletter, etc… the importance of building a larger portfolio in a tertiary market like Toledo.

I also look in the newspaper and craigslist for basic for rent ads that provide landline phone numbers.Facechat, instabook and the others mean nada to these folks.

You can also call and talk to one of the planners or get an inspector on the phone - might take a few attempts.

I am not one of those.I do personal communications with all the guests and they have my cell so they can call or text.

I'd see if there are other phone numbers to try?
