While that makes sense and you might think that's all that matters, the bank is also worried the note is no longer secured by an asset.

I hired a PM to find a tenant for one of my properties which has become vacant.Their agency has a lot of good online reviews and when I interviewed them, I was impressed with their professionalism.He has just now emailed me saying he has a client wanting to buy my property for 150k.I was a bit baffled because last I checked it was worth around 450k.

You can find this online, or at the town hall

@Roy WhiteHere in North Carolina attorneys do contracts because we don't use title companies.Rental companies will also have rental contracts.If you get one online or from a friend, for example, just be sure everything in it is legal in your state.Good luck!

@Brett K.Not really a matter of how big/small the contact list is, as much as it is how frequently that data changes, or how many data sets someone is trying to piece together. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

There are other reasons it may or may not be for other investors, but for me at this stage in my investing career, that's the primary metric that matters to me. 

I was online one day and  found my local REIA chapter and decided to attend.

Percentage matters. 

An example is collecting data on online users and than trying to come up with a way to sell them stuff through ads.
