One was a letter, one was a newspaper ad.I don't know who decided that absentee owners were the most motivated group.

When that happens, I will require guests there to do the same as the AirBNB guests, visit my web site and digitally sign the renter agreement before access instructions are released.

After I cast missing bronze & cooper pieces, spend time and treasure updating 1880´s technology, hire craftsman to match missing stain-glass pieces  - i like that to stay in my family for the next 140 years, but i´d still like a double digit returns.

A more productive way I have found through trial and error with the 2 other businesses I run, is via newspaper ads (electronic or paper), and facebook ads.  

It means that the "writ of execution" to sell the property at sheriff sale has been "stayed" - basically, this is a postponement of the sale, but with the added requirement that the next time that the lender wants to proceed with the foreclosure sheriff sale, then they must re-publish in the newspaper and re-post the property; with a postponement, this is just a continuation of the already published sale to a specific date, no re-advertising needed.

I know here in New Orleans we can go online and get crime stats from the local newspaper.

Newspaper ads will list auctions.

No one ever went broke protecting their principle and getting a double digit return.
