His YouTube channel and podcast are pretty new but he has a lot of blogs on BP.

Did you parents have a directive, will, etc communicating their preferences?

Looking to create a group where 5-10 people can all communicate and have a focused on going group discussion as well as coordinate meeting places for a mastermind type group. 

Some of the criteria I consider are:-Items of value have been removed-Utilities are disconnected-Neighbors have not seen activity at the house for several days-No return communication or communication that they have leftAgain, there is no need to go through the eviction process if they are gone

This puts me in the awkward position to have to communicate with the tenant that I'm essentially evicting.
