My students say the people who robbed them live in or frequent the gang houses mentioned above.I've found the landlords through the county assessor's website and am wondering what my next steps are.

Strategically located in downtown Niagara Falls just a walking distance from the Niagara Water Fall, Seneca Casino and Canada.

If no, I tell them to let me know when they have the signed deed and HUD so that I don't have the funds sitting in escrow any longer than necessary.Just keep in mind that they frequently blow right through the closing date in the contract.

I am not shy about asking "frequent visitors" and long term "guests" to demonstrate to me that they indeed live elsewhere. 

I dropped out of college 7 years ago to work 5-7 days a week at a dead end tip-based job (Casino Dealer, not Exotic Dancer).

I will be frequenting auction sites to see if anything that sparks my interest pops up.

I do drive by the properties frequently, however, am considering paying the extra money to the management company for more frequent inspections. 

I travel frequently for work, so my original strategy was: - buy home in desirable area, furnish it well, live in it while local, rent it on AirBnb or VRBO when I'm traveling - once I have additional equity, buy another home and do the same thing, either keeping home #1 as a STR or rent it long term, depending on the current market - rinse and repeatI was considering Austin, TX as my starting point, due to its massive recent popularity.

I've been looking very closely and very frequently at MLS listings to see if anything popped up.

This type of question comes up frequently.
