@Troy Fisher I'm actually from Tacoma and lived in Edmonds for the past 10 years, but I do have a 206 area code :) @Ali Boone I actually ran across your website yesterday!

You can search for members by zip code there, which might be helpful to your cause!

The address is:101 NW Magnolia Lakes BlvdPort St Lucie, FL 34986Come in through the entrance on Bethany (NOT Cashmere), the gate code for entrance is "#6565".We are VERY excited to get started!

The lists I go after are; Tax Delinquent, High Equity owner occupied/absentee, Probate, and sometimes code violations if the city or county is willing to give them up.

This will depend on what is code, how long do you plan on keeping investment and or are you reselling it???

Only thing I can think of.Sounds to me like the seller's attorney thinks his client sold too low if you can make a profit and is using Tax Code to fog the battle field.Ask your attorney for a "Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement" to cover any tax liability arising for the seller other than the customary gain on the sale arising from or out of any specific assignment.

s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1328745898&sr=1-5)I have a regular keyed entry for the main door, this one is almost a no-brainer as I don't want ex-tenants to have access to the common area after they move out and with 6 units, there could be a lot of rekeying.I'm thinking of setting it up as follows:Main door-8 unique codes -1 for each unit -1 "master code" that only I have -1 "maintenance code" that I can give out to contractorsEach apartment-3 unique codes -1 code matches tenants front door code -1 code is my master (this is on all doors) -1 code is maintenance code (also on all doors)Without doing much shopping around, this would cost me about $700 up front, $100 per lock.Here's my list of pros/cons...I'd love for somebody to add to itCons-High up-front cost $100 per lockPros-No lockouts-No rekey fees-No hassle for me to get in or give code to contractor-NO KEYSWhat do you think?

Can I put a large QR on that or would it be moot?

@Jackson Sandland If your phone number is a CA area code and you are looking to get work done in MA he might be asking you to see if you are legit or not.
