I'm with Chris's recommendation for someone like you who is just testing the waters...and wants doesn't want to put a bunch of your own cash at risk.

Furthermore, have the addendum say that it's the tenant's responsibility to test them monthly and install new batteries.I say this because I recently had a fire in a property and the smoke detectors were investigated.

I sent an initial 500 just to test the waters.My lead source (Response Makers) only gives one address so it goes there.

I'd imagine that this would also apply to black berrys and pda phones, but I don't know...With that said, to really answer your question, you'll need to test it out...

That would be a true test.

I am chipping away at the learning curve and this time I will have to test and develop my buyer's list, salesmanship, and nerves.

Thanks Joshua,I like to walk in, look around, test the water a bit before opening up too much.

Yet, the chances of another bubble bursting soon is slim.

This IS a test!

Maybe he views you as a relatively new investor, and he's sort of testing you?
