What if there is break in the chain of title further in history.

Right now I dont wont them to call people but I know that some of them specialize in lead generation, but I don't want the  to go to CL and just get me names and numbers bc once I had them get some information about buyers and the leads was crap.I know that not every lead is gold but I would like for all of them not to be junk.I dont wont them to cut and paste from then newspaper or web sites.

Part of my expense is to put a privacy fence in the back of the house to buffer the house from a huge dog that hangs over the chain link fence - no way in heck anyone is going to live with that.  

Most recently, I was a global business analyst for a global gold mining company.

good property management is worth their weight in gold.
