I couldn't do it without all of the generous people who have freely shared their knowledge about how they've been successful.

Any light sporty recreation on site can pay dividends and give you an edge when competitors come to town to copy your success.  

That Stacy's course, TSA is a copied version of Rick Dawson's Virtual Courthouse Riches and Hooked on Overages.I have been doing this business for over 2 years and have had quite a bit of success with it.

You can always host your QuickBooks desktop and have multiple file online appx cost $38.00 per userIf you want a backup copy.

Run a title search, get copies from the wife of all original paperwork, then "assume" the mortgage and pay the bank each month from the tenants rental payment.

Social Security should have an award letter that states how long the benefits are good for.If the tenant doesn't have a copy of the awards letter it could take weeks as social security will not fax or e-mail but mail a copy only.If they have a pension the Office of Personnel will fax a copy if the tenant calls in and authorizes it.

Yellow letters vs post cards, short copy vs long copy, glossy vs plain text.

Also since he is on a month to month lease do i just ask him for a copy of his existing lease?

The sale date has been postponed now for over a year.So my last ditch effort has been to FINALLY track down the negotiator on the account at MetLife and on Friday I FedExed him a packet with a letter telling him about us renting the property for the last 10 months, copies of all the cancelled checks, and all the copies of e-mail correspondences from the owner and his SS specialist asking us to submit "bogus offers in order to string the bank along" and keep house from going to foreclosure (which of course we never did.)My husband and our attorney said I was wasting my time because no one at the bank cares- but it was worth my time because someone should care that this guy is collecting money for rent and not paying his mortgage, as well as the fact that he is submitting bogus short sale offers in order to postpone his foreclosure.Maybe my letter and e-mail correspondences will actually reach someone who gives a damn about what is right!

I am going to ask copies of the leases to make sure there isn't any odd clause in it.I think given the numbers, I am going to make an offer of at least the asking price, I wasn't sure if I should offer over the asking price to begin with.Thanks for the replies guys!
