Rich Ng, you referenced a MA database which can be used to lookup property addresses for being registered as deleaded.

I often mention to people that I don't invest in real estate because I want to be ridiculously rich.

I am not sure there is anything that can do that.I am sure @Joe Splitrock has a ton of experience, but I would just rather not be subjected to rude and offensive posts from people who do not have the decency or respect to communicate without making blanket assumptions.  

Friendly - personable, polite and professional.... not a "friend or buddy".Fair - abide by all landlord tenant laws, communicate openly and honestly, no special favors for some tenants and not others.Firm - have the backbone to hold tenants accountable, stand by your written rental agreement.Fast - swift to do maintenance and repair, swift to address tenant concerns and swift to enforce the terms of the rental agreementFlexible - take into consideration extenuating circumstances and be flexible when it is warranted, but don't let tenants manipulate you or take control.Since your grandmother chose these tenants and is compromised because of her church relationship with them, do her a favor and take on the responsibility of addressing this issue as her agent.

Instead of trying to communicate with the owner through their tenant, why not just get the phone number and address of the owner from the tenant and contact them yourself?

RICH is the only non-profit Trade Asociation for real estate investors.  

I recently finished "Building Wealth One House At A Time " and have previously read other success books such as "Rich Dad Poor Dad", "The Magic of Thinking Big", and others which titles have escaped my memory.
