When they sent us the leases, there were a couple of letters included that showed the rental increases for these folks for at least the past year or two.  

Right now, i have a typed letter than i just switch the addresses out on and i have a spot at the bottom to hand sign it.

@Nicholas WecksteinEveryone has their own criteria they seem to use to label neighborhoods and I’m no different .Here’s a general way I think of the letter coding A - fine hIgh end homes no rentals a great place to raise a family upper IncoMe folks often gated community and most people are driving expensive newer cars B- nice houses with good landscaping.typical suburban famIly homes some rentals here and there no boarded up houses or rift raft walking around You’d raise your family here and feel safe virtually no crime nice cars good blue collar working class C- even split of rentals and home owners some crime older cars some boarded up houses sporadic crime people tend to stay indoors at night youd be sure to lock your house and car here most houses are older and many need repaired D- Lots of dilapidated houses and the ones livable look to need repaired .

Spend the $$ on a real estate lawyer so the letter of the law is followed and your "friend" is sent on his way most expediently.

You need to get your name and phone number out there in front of people who might want to sell their properties quickly.Common examples are sending letters to owners of properties, for example all out of state owners in a city, or owners who are getting divorced, or landlords who recently evicted someone, etc.Also common is Google SEO advertising, Facebook campaigns, putting signs on telephone poles ("bandit signs"), putting fliers out in the community, dropping business cards in certain locations, paying for billboards or radio or TV ads, etc.At some point you will need to make a decision on whether you have (or want to spend) more time, or more money.

Would any of you send a letter to gain insight as to the tenant's ability or willingness to pay electronically, submit repair needs electronically, etc?

., only a Letter of Environmental Protection stating you did UD and then had to hire a pro to fix it.
