I am not a lawyer, but it seems like option "B" would make the tenants liable for rent until the property is re-rented, or until the lease ends (if the property isn't re-rented before then).  

Either purchasing a single family and renting out rooms, or a duplex and renting out the other unit (it seems as if there are very few duplexes in the Charleston area).

I have searched the forums and the internet for these numbers but I can't seem to find them.

@Albert Zheng, residents seems to be a better choice, thanks for the info.

I've been on Bigger Pockets for what seems like years now.

Pensacola seems like a great area.

I've used spokeo and intellius, and frankly, both seemed a bit useless as they didn't have current address or the 'current address' they provided was incorrect and my mail was returned again.

They seem to have a pretty wide disparity here in the Williamson County areas of Greater Austin whenever I look.  

It would seem to me that contributing to both would be good.  

Most BPers seem to believe that simply sending mail will get the phone ringing: the shotgun approach.
