The more people you know, even non-prospects, the more chances you have to receive referrals and the more business you will have.

If you maintain an office or place of business that is open to the public and you can get prospects to visit you in person, this is one solution.

I have formed several LLC's for non-real estate ventures over the last few years myself.

I was also wondering if the presence of effective public transportation 2 minutes away will influence the price upwards more, with gas prices as they are (we pay close to 6$ a gallon here) and looking like they will keep on going up.

I currently work directly with a buyer that specializes in purchasing REOs in bulk, NPNs (non-performing notes), and UPB (unpaid principle balance).

Tenants are fickle and often irresponsible (that's the reason they are tenants and on public assistance).

Sometimes a non-savvy closer will think you are a vulture and not want to help you close your deal.

By having the bill come to me, I know as soon as it can be known that water was overused and I have control of the payments and prevented liens from non-payment.A midway approach I have seen attempted (mostly with great pain) is to have the bills come to you, but make the tenant responsible as per the lease.

While we do try to screen all of our direct advertisers (non-google ads), we can't assure anyone's business outside our own.Once you leave BiggerPockets, even through links on BiggerPockets, we can not promise that the business that you're visiting is going to do what they promise.

These are public records and they should be able to let you know when wills are submitted for probate.
