My recent yellow letter campaign has gotten off to a great start, however I have one lead that I am struggling to deal with...The property is in decent shape, could use perhaps $5-7k in tidy up work, but could probably scrape by as-is for a rental.

I am thinking of sending a cover letter detailing what I think the value is in current condition.

I have also already sent a letter to address on file with county.

Could just the last name's first letter be displayed for those that would like that or would that open up a can of worms?

Some free options I"ve tried that work is to still mail your yellow letter to that address and put "please forward" under your return address and if the post office has a forwarded address for the owner they'll forward it to the new address. 

He makes a charitable donation at Christmas on behalf of the tenants and sends a copy of the thank-you letter to each tenant.

Even with the note being paid, the banks will still send threatening letters.

join your local rei club and get a referral to a good attorney if you can.you can send out letters of intent, but even then if you don't know exactly what you want to do, you really should consult an attorney FIRST.first consultation is free, so why not go to several consults?

My apartments are in a good area.Having said that they are older buildings.We are rehabbing some vacants.We went door to door with a letter to all tenants explaining to call the cops if they see anything suspicious.I have a manager and maintenance guy on site but it helps to have extra eyes looking.We also offered a 250.00 cash reward for a tenant reporting a call that leads to an arrest.The key is leads to an arrest not just a call.The police have to locate the offender and take them to jail for the tenant to get credit.This makes the tenant want to catch them in the act.I figure 250.00 is as much if not more than what an intruder would steal or do in damage to a property.
