We operate in the larger multifamily space where we have much more control over valuations, and even there we're happy if we can retrieve 40-60% of the initial investment.I don't think the 50% expense ratio is too conservative.

PS: The idea of retrieving rental/lease comps is not only to gauge what the house will rent for, rather get an idea of how many days on an average homes stay in the market (DOM).

If you skip trace these property address you can retrieve the numbers, email and other valuable data for the property owner.

Send tenant a letter stating what she owes, that everything is in storage, and she can retrieve it after she pays everything (including moving/storage costs).

I would start by making contact with the tenant (Mail/Email depending on the facility), most tenants will want to be able to have someone retrieve their belongings. 

Check before you pay, but I believe Hostfully will retrieve your listing info from Airbnb (it's the only listing site they offer this option for) to set up in their system.

Sale price - total investment = profit (or loss)EDIT:  Moderator (J Scott) accidentally edited this post and removed some information that can't be retrieved. 

Even if probate has started yet someone who's managing the upkeep of the properties is retrieving the mail and making sure there's no vandalism.. 

One of the guys reached out to see if we would allow him to get a golden retriever puppy. 

I retrieve the lock at my convenience.It's that easy.
