There is a layer of bureaucracy added to the process.5.

You have added some ideas I would not have thought about.

The advantage of farm land is that it can be thought of as 'gold' that you can rent out.

They are worth their weight in gold

They also get added to the basis of the property when you sell it.

Also all the numbers added up.

here it is called "Jane Doe and John Doe and all parties in actual possesion" adding 's if necessary

They require more attention and management than would be required in more affluent areas but the you are compensated for this in the added return on investment from rental income.

- local newspaper ad- craigslist- sign on property- a listing service such as roommates.com, rent.com, apartment.com- asking current tenants for referrals- putting up notice on bulletin boards (groceries, laundromats, churches, etc.)- other methods?

The consideration then is the incremental cost of adding to that mailing.With regard to mailing to distressed situations only, I find that the obvious candidates, pending foreclosures and bankruptcy etc. leave out a large segment of the distressed homeowners who don't even consider that they have options in this market.
