I'm not afraid of loosing my job as much as seeing chains on the door knobs.

Do you get actively involved in the process.. making calls, door knocking, etc.?

But the real driver is adding to the income and trimming expenses.

I would first go knock on the door and talk to the tenant about their situation before paying for legal counsel.

That last part is an important clue to vetting the don't care properties from the ones that the owner just hasn't gotten around to working on (REO, rehabber, developer, etc.).Do you mail, door knock, hire kids on bicycles, etc.?

I include appliances where they are already present, and wherever the access for moving in appliances is a serious challenge (for example, I have one unit where we had to remove the door and the door stop molding to get the machines through the opening).

Even OJ Simpson, who visited my next-door neighbors home and replicated their rock pool, had his former residence dozed and leveled and a new structure built in its place (although no one is alleged to have died there).

I suspected the oil company or driver .... since the oil company consistently has best price for the oil and over the internet, I saw it has three reviews.

They will basically just be looking for the following things in your home office:- The office must have a secure door lock and be separate from living quarters (can not be a bedroom, must be a den or a separate office)- Password protected computer- Locking file cabinet where tenant information is stored- ShredderThere's really no way to get around this if you wanted access to complete credit report info.

I find myself just asking for the key code so i can view properties on my own time and leave them out of doing nothing more than opening a door for me.I have met very few realtors that are really good and there value comes form a vast knoweldge of a market or area as well as really good contacts or access to potential deals before they hit the market. these people are very hard to find.
