Don’t share the address just ask the question generally.Asbestos siding is surprisingly common on older homes in the upper Midwest.

Of course keep in mind, you are meeting the owners at their address.

Dear BP community,I am trying to research a previous landlord for my potential tenant.I know the landlord's address, first and last name.How can I find out her phone number in Philadelphia, PA?

i can't type in date, address etc..

Need an address though!

@Kurt Granroth, the investment prospectus from most sponsors don’t address the tax issues because everybody’s tax situation is different, and most sponsors aren’t tax experts that are qualified to give tax advice.

The question is, given a target list of addresses/people, what is the best way to reach out?

Online... is a long and tedious process :) but if done consistently can be a great supplementary way of getting other folks to notice you and wanting to work with you...You just have to be honest, and even if you are a tire kicker and the newbie, as long as you present your journey showing who you are and where you are coming from and why you are thinking the way you are thinking then folks will learn to trust you, believe you and connect with you, which may or may not of course result in you get the right agent in your local area.Remember what may seem tire kicking to some, and means business as usual.... to you it's the entire life savings... type of decision...  

And then using what's left to payoff probably relatively low interest loan that you have on your rental and loosing interest write off deduction doesn't sound like a wise financial move...Why don't you consider setting up a self-directed IRA, moving your Vanguard IRA in there and then invest passively in trust deeds (or some other alternative assets).

I'd also send them more than just the address and pictures.
