Anglers and buyers need to remain alert and the more time the bait is in the water (at the right place) the higher chances of bringing home a delicious reward. 

Explain the potential damage and costs involved with the water running continuously and put it in writing letting him know that he is not to touch the chain again, that if he needs service that he should notify you and you will take care of it.Additionally, there are devices you can get that will alert you if your toilet is running.

I looks like the former, based on the following definition --"The term placed in service means the time that property is first placed by the taxpayer in a condition or state of readiness and availability for a specifically assigned function, whether for use in a trade or business, for the production of income, in a tax-exempt activity, or in a personal activity."

Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you. 2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts!

Scott, A couple of things here: 1) If this is true, and you will be getting $10M, then you should be cautious - alerting people to an amount of money this large can be dangerous, and you will get advice looking to separate that money from you from very hungry people, who will come off as very polished, but who can really do damage to your wealth.2) If you are coming into $10M all at once, then depending on the source, you will pay taxes on this.

Putting a sign there will be a bigger alert that it's vacant, almost as an attraction to squatters.

The property has since been sold twice and no quiet title action or a quit claim deed from the defaulting tax payer have been recorded.
