He's a man on a mission and is kicking a-- and taking names!

When I see a house that is looking sad, I will research owners, try to find them through social media to contact them, and if all else fails mail a letter.  

Don't get me wrong, i'll keep trying, but i do not want to pin everything on it.I am not the greatest peoples person;Don't get me wrong, i'm not an anti-social weirdo but when it comes to things like cold-calling and door to door salesmanship, the ideas TERRIFY ME.

I would have thought SmartMove as an arm of TransUnion would have caught this, but was just informed by their customer service that they only do a check based on name and where previously lived, NOT by social security number.

From what I've read in my short time on this social network and in Mark's book it looks like I've come to the right place. 

But, I'm trying to figure out whether there is an answer that is right for my circumstances.I have been working on the business plan, including Vision & Mission Statements, Goals, Values, etc. 

One charges $42 for all checks but has everything "in house" (ability to post online listings on social media sites, craigslist, etc. with an 'Apply Now' button, send e-application, screen request, digital lease, create and send additional documents (add'tl $15), collect rent).

We have consider our real estate adventure part investment, part hobby, and part mission; we've using our real estate to try to make the world a better place.Keep in touch!

Also you will notice that the social climates between the two areas might be quite different.

@Joe Fairless I own in Rochester NY and there is some great cash-flow there, they are both very liberal with their Department of Social Service, yet pretty landlord friendly when it comes to evictions.
