After writing down and running through at least a dozen scenarios, I came to the conclusion that my days of working 80-100 hours/wk, on weekends, on holidays, for 4 months straight with not a single day off were over and that the best scenario for my relationship with my wife, for my physical health (sleep!)

One of my new tenants signed a lease without physically visiting the space (she was moving from out of state).

Physical trades and shuffling paper, these are jobs people understand getting paid for.

Generally speaking, this is usually an older demographic who will respond better to a letter, postcard or physical mail.The thing to note about texting is that it is a prospecting play so you will have to source and skip trace your list first. 

Regarding physically being able to do it, you can.

Too many people (military included) limit themselves to buy real estate where they are physically located.

"Down the Road" meaning time, not physically.

Looking for a Real Estate CPA, bonus points if they're physical located in Chattanooga.

Quietly exercise your taxpayer rights and call code enforcement. 

Ultimately the tenant had a ROFR and decided to exercise it.
