However, in this context, I'd like to do the opposite.The premise of my question is very basic: I've been told that in CA, it is illegal to take control of utilities, and then shut them off to persuade the occupant of a home that you own to leave, regardless of that person's legal claim to the property (the status' that I've mentioned in the subject line).

., I agree that it feels this way, but keep in mind that the status quo cannot continue forever, and when things start changing people like you will be the prepared, while others could face some trying times.

This helped people know right away what our group was about.I suggest that's a good way to start.Also, if you haven't, set up keyword alerts in BP (through your dashboard) for Shanghai and China so you can be alerted anytime it's mentioned.You can also try to do a search through BP for "China" and "Shanghai" and start PM-ing people or seeing what they're posting about and adding a comment.After we set up the MeetUp, we made Video Introductions - just using our computer cameras - and set up a standard response to any new members that included our Facebook page, links to our Video, etc.We also created some video cartoons (a little more complicated - maybe if you get someone in your group who has some computer skills?)

I track all of my leads in Google Sheets and include their status.

Do you mean a site like vrbo, but for Europe, or advertising though some other way like facebook ads?

I stand corrected, it is Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin who had renounced his citizenship prior to the Facebook IPO, not E.

So far I've been using craigslist, linkedin, facebook, backpage and my website.

Had a buddy of mine who found 1 vacant turned out to be in foreclosure and tracked down the owner using Facebook.

When does a property normally get to "Pending status"?  

The thing is (at least in Niagara), getting a unit to legal status may not be as difficult or as costly as many seem to think.
