One less phone call or aggravated tenant to deal with for you.

For one, welcome to the pros circle ^^ Also I'd be interested in sitting down and talking with you sometime before the 12th if you are available for either coffee or lunch or even just a breif chat on the phone.

The Rich Dad representative wanted me to make a decision on our first phone call to spend that money.

I am about to schedule a appointment with my real estate attorney, its by phone and he is in another state, but should be familiar with the laws here in Texas.

These were situation where I managed to find their phone numbers in the public records, sites like yellowpages.com or spokeo.comThe challenge is the phone numbers found there is accurate only 10% of the time at best.Does anyone know of an efficient skip tracing system that is more accurate?

Lastly, the entire home we have decided to make "smart" and all locks, locks, thermostat, towel warmer, and mood lighting will be controlled via phones or computer.

I apologize for the delay in responding still new to how the forums work and on my cell.
