I know its a sign of the times (and there are legalities involved) that the internet has "educated" tenants that they can be a-holes; but just be up-front, sympathetic, and face to face.

I stumbled upon BP several months ago as I was doing some finance related reading/internet searching, but only recently joined the team.  

Contrary to popular investor beliefs on the internet, nothing really ties up title other than a restrictive covenant to title or joint tenancy ownership exists where both or all owners must agree to pass all interests in title, subject to state laws.

I think any niche forum on the internet develops a "hive mind" of sorts.

I would also scour the internet at large, be careful of any sites that are pushing VA loan products.

I don't recall where I saw this just 3-4 days ago, on a program or possible internet video the first thing they said was: you make your money when you buy.

Make offers on "for sale by owners", on expired listings, get sellers to call you, advertise using print, radio and Internet.

Once that initial list is posted, I do a quick internet search on the homes (Most of the time I use county records and zillow/trulia simply because they are  at the top of the search).

You can knock on foreclosure doors, call Craigslist ads, search the internet, call realtors, get in the paper, send direct mail pieces to probate and out of state owners, etc. 

The sensor runs to a unit that I can control on the internet.
