There was another group that has meetings in and around the Durham area (Ajax) that I asked to be notified when they are back in town. 

After I'm done with that I spend another 2+ hours a day putting together photos and a full property analysis so that people out of town are able to see the property in its entirety. 

Many towns have rent control in addition to the state laws. 

@Stanford Neal Mead can you provide more details about the area of town?

The thermostat is located in one of the units, and I just tell them to keep it at a reasonable temp and remember that the other unit runs off it, and don't turn it off when you're out of town.

I did some more digging and contacted several billboard companies who told me that the zoning was right and a billboard could be built there.

She is an out of town investor, and as a member of the community, her neglect of the property is unacceptable. 

I’m a 32 year old associate real estate broker, and I work for a small broker here in town who is 69, and getting close to retirement.

I'm an investor and investor friendly realtor here in town.

I’d love to connect for coffee if you’re ever in town!
