I ordered their home study course the beginning of April and at the time of writing this (May 9th), I have still not received the course.After waiting 2 weeks for the material to come I finally contacted someone by phone over there and they said that they would send out another course to my address since I never received the first that was apparently sent.

Find out what that motivation was and address the problem/need, then offer a solution that will solve it and ask to move forward (close the sale.)

I wake up today to a text from a friend with a photo of a man arrested by the Marshall's with my rentals address in the story.

You can either let it go to voice mail in hopes that they leave the property address so you can look it up before you call them back, or answer the phone and find out some basic information to start with:1.

sorry @Michael Wolffs meant to address @Ben Kahle in that last post

The flooding issue may need to be addressed further but find out what your exact responsibilities are rather than just addressing them ad hoc as an earnest novice.

So i'll be as detailed as possible: I'm looking on what action I should take and anything else you think might be useful information to provide.Listing address: 5641 Whitby Road, Baltimore, MD 21206.

Unlike other site, SmartMove only required tenant’s email address (very convenience).

I don't know your area, so there are a huge number of economic/demographic questions that I can't address.

As @Joshua McGinnis points out, many landlords get away operating in grey areas of LA zoning laws, similar to Airbnb, but this risk should be understood and addressed by all investors before taking on the challenge.Many avoid attempting to get a zoning change for such a small project (assuming SFR locations), and rather sign master leases with one or several flight attendant tenants, then allow them to sublet with landlord approval.Best of luck,A
