I plan to make contact with the owner next week via cold call if I can obtain a number, or mail.

Already have the plumber on standby, thanks for the reminder though!

Venmo also doesn't send out late payment reminders.  

I know that if a property goes to a tax sale and is sold, the mortgages are wiped out so the home is purchased ONLY for the amount of taxes due - free and clear.BUT, if you obtain a tax delinquent list from the county, mail a card to the owners stating the situation and that you would like to purchase their property BEFORE it hits the tax sale, do the mortgages get wiped out or are you responsible for any mortgages plus tax lien?

The heat does cost a little more currently then gas so that may impact the rent you can charge and ultimately your bottom line. ( just keep reminding your potential tenants of how it's a lot better for people with allergies lol) It is pretty unusual for homes in the Lansing area to have the ceiling radiant heat.

We have full billboards and national TV advertising, plus an exceptional direct mail program.  

Hard to compare them all.Next issue will be getting them to mail a check or try some online payment center or appAnyone with some thoughts would be most welcomed to my overwhelmed brain.I'd like to keep it simple and as automatic as possible

Here in Atlanta I get those in the mail within 5 days.

I'm thinking about hiring 1-2 people to help me with my mailings.

a) Use the rental property I already acquired as the physical address of the LLC (seems like it would be difficult to reliably collect mail there after it is rented)b) Contract a private company, such as UPS, to provide a physical address in West Virginia for the LLC.
