For example your state's law might require a prior owner who resided in the property to be notified in person but they may not have been able to locate and serve them notice or an interested party may have been notified at the wrong address.

Start with a conversation. 

I was approached by a tenant who says they are licensed to run a Group Home for persons  with Disabilities.

Multis feel more like a house and you have one person living with you (or 2 or 3 depending on duplex, trip, or quad), whereas an apartment complex has more amenities, but people sharing walls everywhere.

The latest one I received today was a person that wanted to know if I was interested in the VA service.

My property Manager has contacted the case Mgr, the supervisor, the person over that dept.

I personally do hard money lending and investing in the city.  

Your cap ex and management will likely to be factored in and are you planning on seeing these in person.

Still looking for personal references based on 1st hand experiences, something to go on, but I have filled out the form and requested info for a couple.Thanks much!

Hi Julianne, Investing in rental properties near a beach in Florida sounds like a great idea, especially if you're looking to combine investment with personal enjoyment during the winter months.
