@Zach HowardThere is no legal requirement for landlords to actually witness lease violations firsthand.

While the city still faces challenges, it’s experiencing revitalization in many areas, and I’ve witnessed significant progress even over just a few years.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Don Konipol: I have witnessed many funds that started on sound principles compromise those principles when they couldn’t generate sufficient deal flow to be able to invest the capital that suddenly came into their lap. 

More properties using this concept would help in areas wit out a lot of affordable rentals.

For instance, I served as an expert witness in a case where a property was transferred to a new owner sub-to.

I'm not sure if anyone knows anyone in Roanoke that would be willing to be the 2nd witness (we have one as he is visiting family) the bank and UPS said they cant use their employees to witness it. 

The investigation will ask for pictures of license plates on vehicles parked in the driveway, witness statements, and unannounced visits by the County to investigate. 

The landlord must take to court a copy of the Notice of Eviction, the Affidavit of Service, the Complaint, the Summons, and any witnesses or evidence needed to win the case.

I have personally witnessed the success of this approach.

However, I’ve witnessed cases where the investor went “all in”, spending and losing many millions.
