For example a cancer survivor with bad insurance coverage will have a ton of debt and it's probably all past due... because they have to pay rent first.

BUT FIRST - you have to get really focuses on what type of commercial real estate you want to invest in, i.e. apartments, self-storage, hotels, cell towers, billboards, retail strip centers, mixed use, office, etc.

I don't want her to think that partial payment is acceptable(especially at the outset of a new tenant relationship) Besides the tenant stated to my PM that ATT(cell phone company) auto debited $500 from the tenants account(Hmmmm...🤔🤔) I find that to be far fetched and I'd rather just move on from a tenant I don' t trust- complete the cosmetic rehab and get a new tenant in the unit. 

You might make a verbal contract without realizing it (valid in NJ) so I would read over the existing leases (with them), let them know you're honoring them (which you have to by law) and just make sure you have a good understanding of who's living there, what their contact info is, including cell and emails, and leave.  

I think the best business plan includes a little of every contact method; in fact, if I could get their cell number I would even include a few texts.  

What does the number represented in that cell represent?  

In December I had to start calling and emailing every day or so, and eventually started calling the CEO of Zest (Tim Moore) on his cell to get my disbursement in time to pay my mortgage.

PM me and I'll give you my cell and help you get pointed in the right direction.

I don't use the pay services that will track cell phones, but I do use whitepages.com, radaris.com (but I think they just changed to an everything costs money thing, yp.com whitepages to find land-lines or "listed" cell phones.  

Feel free to hit me up on my cell phone (267) 441 - 3541 and I will keep you updated as soon as we have a time and location firmed up.
