I am a local landlord in SF, and have the problem that sometimes I find my tenants are subletting their unit through airbnb and VRBO.I'm wondering what people's current solutions are?

The solution is not cheap, but much cheaper than paying somebody else to do it (do some google searching to find what you need).Bed bugs are terrible and thankfully I don't have any experience with them.

Or, really the solution is for you to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure and just give the house to lender.

Find out his motivation and you're one step closer to crafting a solution that works for them.If they are retiring and depending on their age, they will want a guaranteed income stream and not a large cash out.

IMO putting more down is not the solution.

If you want a turnkey direct mail solution, consider YellowLetters.com - they have letters, postcards, zip letters, etc.

First of all you have to ALWAYS look at hard money as a temporary solution.

You can search within so many miles of a city, etc.Also, this forum is where meetups are listed, you might want to monitor it and watch for any local meetups.

Probably 99% of the groups on site had become completely useless.I see the same on Facebook, LinkedIn and the other majors -- I'm not sure that there is a solution.

I'm not taking much heed, except for the point that most projects fall behind and there is not way to monitor or control anything from an investors standpoint.
