Greetings Rat lovers,I forgot about this one, a fellow Landlord told me about this web site https://www.domyownpestcontrol.com She had bed bugs so she ordered a truck load of supplies from them.I haven’t spoken to her since - so I’m not sure of her results.

Make sure you run your number to confirm the property can carry the debt service costs.Once a month is more than enough to be on site, make sure the management company doesn't let things go and that can be a nice trip to take with your dad to go see the property (unless you were involved all these years, you'll need his experience to identify things that might need attention and are not taken care of).On top of the on-site visit, schedule a weekly meeting (can be a web session like Zoom or GoToMeeting) with the PM to go over the property status and the finances.Lastly, I'd install security cameras on the properties so you can check in remotely at random times and see what's going on at the property.Once again, this is just what I would do and as I said in my previous post, I'd start all that with a meeting with an estate lawyer and a CPA.

That's too big a gamble for 50.00....no matter if you're rich or poop....that's just crazy to take a potential tenants money like that up front when it's not a for sure deal.

Real estate associations (like the REALTOR association) I think are a great place to start and helped to grow my past PM business.Referrals for doing a great job for current owners your managing for.Also online / web presence - this was the #1 way new owners found and signed up with us.

This just boils down to a question of ethics and integrity as apposed to the few dollars that may be saved today and the gamble that you may get away without and repercussions.  

Because of my background in Web Engineering and design I should be able to create a design that gets converted to a stamp or is printed on an envelope. 

Most of them will be revealed with a simple web search.

Tell them which zip codes you are interested in and they can send you a spreadsheet you can upload to the post office web site to create your cards.Also, visit trulia.com and put in the address of a fourplex you're interested in.

My SDIRA is one of the biggest but with the worst possible WEB site that led to financial losses and even an identity theft (which though remedied, left me angry.)

Every update and query is a call to the web and the host's servers.
