You never know what’s motivating people so throw an offer out there and see where it goes.

I currently don't have much of a plan for this at all, just throwing it out there and seeing if it anyone would be interested in the idea.Full disclosure: I'm new to this.

Assuming you have something in writing you can always sue, but in the end most of these guys are uncollectible, so you're just throwing more good money after bad.Depending on what the property still needs, I can give you a few people who might be able to help you out on the work side at least, including a few reputable property managers.

As far as your liability on parties, you really don't have any unless you're throwing the party.

It usually takes me about 10 minutes of some searching to figure out that they are just throwing another deal around.

I was just throwing out that hypothetical example to see if someone had any thoughts on it.

You can have positive NOI but negative cash flow (think:  debt service and an unexpected roof replacement costing more than the NOI throws off). 

Postcard-sized yellow mailers, full-page letters in real envelopes, throwing bricks through their windows with my picture on them...etc?

You give an investor a lead and if they follow up and eventually close on the property you point out, you hope they throw you a bone.  

You could throw in a list of necessary work required to bring the property up to standards, with estimated dollar amounts, but your realtor should already know that info.
