I would particularly love to help someone within the Atlanta area with a fixer-upper by providing some physical labor.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

Have you guys ever purchased a property without physically seeing it?

I have my own leads (name of decedent, physical address of property, personal representative for the estate, Their physical address.

I hire local professionals for inspections and cleaning, but even then, I’ve run into issues where things were missed because I wasn’t physically there.3.Tools: I use software like Tenant Cloud for rent collection and maintenance tracking, but no tool can replace having someone who can physically check on properties.

The original poster's easiest route would be to have the owners of those titles request a lost title from the DMV, and then once the DMV sends them a physical title, have the owners sign them over to him.

I'd still venture your online ads might be more beneficial, but NOT having physical signs means you're not getting the foot traffic. 

@Michael BaumEvery property we ever stayed at had a physical book so yes - it definitely suffices.

At the time, I had just graduated with a physics degree, landed a great job in the Bay Area, and was newly married.

The engineer should be able to advise on the best lot line outcome, especially if there are physical circumstances to consider, such as wetlands.
