I was going to look into renting to section 8 recipients, so looking for 12 month or more leases.

I am not an attorney, but I'm afraid that in Georgia it is the "recipient" of the tree that is responsible, not the property owner where the tree fell from. 

Generally, if funds aren’t blocked by recipient bank within 24 hours, fraudster already moved the funds and they are gone.

The most critical piece of legislation narrowing the scope of acceptable telemarketing practices came with the TCPA of 1991, which amended the original Communications Act of 1934.Unless recipients had given prior consent, as of 1991, companies wishing to employ mass texting or calling had to heed the following restrictions:● Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m.

SMS marketing is 100% illegal without prior written opt in consent from the recipient. 

Roughly three-1/2 months worth of wages for the most needy recipients over the course of 12 months.

I know the market I want to target, I know where to get lead lists, I have an idea of what I'd say in my letters/postcards.My question is, when the recipient of a mailer calls and leaves a voicemail, how do I assess the condition of the property to give them an offer?

Recipients do not have any tax obligation.  

What it applies to ultimately is the recipient of the fee. 

The difference I suppose is I write my own small letter batches that are custom-tailored for a few recipients.
