The larger call centers who some RE investors use (as have I) have staff turn over and other things that really limits what you can expect for screening.

I don't know the history of the property but it is probably just a matter of clearing everybody's name (heirs) from the property deeds.I haven't measured it but it's safe to say that it's about a 35' by 30' cape.There is one bathroom downstairs that opens up right into the kitchen (yuck) and it doesn't have a tub.I have an appt next Tues to sit down and talk with a lawyer about the remaining heirs.

Such fun learning what the options are, paying based on time or being limited in your connect time.Good luck.John Corey

Things can happen too quickly in an area for a national company/system to adapt quickly to update those values.I personally don't see a big value of a national system - the benefit for persons that work on a national level is really quite limited.

It’s an acquired taste that you begin to enjoy more and more especially once you begin to see the money you can make from it.Cold calling is an outstanding resource, especially for those with a limited advertising budget.

I ask, as I have several properties that I get per month in Maryland, but limited with quality buyers.Some of the homes have as much as $100,000 - $200,000 equity (NO BRAINER) for wholesalers... where others come with lower equity but high cashflow from $400 - $1000 per month.

BTW, I believe MikeOH rehabs and buys in low income areas to get the 2% that is touted on this board. http://www.amazon.com/Estate-Investor-Flow-Financial-Measures/dp/0071422579/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?

A landlord may not abuse this limited right of entry or use it to harass a tenant.

All things are relative with regards to any lease that is the so called "net" format vs those that are "gross" or "modified gross".The term net lease has been chopped up over the years to include "net - N", "double net - NN", or "triple net - NNN".N - generally refers to the actual property operational maintenance costs.NN - generally refers to the property maintenance and limited other costs, i.e. adding in insurance or RE taxes or some other limited set of items.NNN - generally refers to all associated property operational costs.For clarification a "net lease" means that the tenant is fully responsible for some or all of the property's operational items; On the other end of the spectrum is the "gross lease" which means that the owner is fully responsible for the operational items; "a modified gross lease" is a combination of the two and usually includes an expense stop for the tenant.Expense stop means the owner is responsible for all costs up to that point, i.e $3.75 per sf per year, and the tenant is responsible for the pro rata difference over that amount.
