I build my list through the courthouse, most of the court houses that I have visited here in NJ have a way for you to see the relation of the executor to the decedent.

When you're in the due diligence phase, make sure to visit the property after a hard rain.

Actually the quicker it sells the less visits they have to pay someone to do.

Then fly into town and visit them personally and check out their offices.

If they come in on a Monday, I can't imagine I'll be able to wait until Saturday to go visit these prospects; if I do, the leads may be cold by the time I arrive.How have y'all dealt with this obstacle?

They cite there is no reason to withhold the deposit.I do believe in this tenant's care of the property (I visited a few months ago when we were doing general repairs), and I don't doubt that I will give them all their security deposit back. 

While I’m there, I’ll visit my property in GA and also look at another deal in Jax, then fly back to Guam.

Often the contractor charges a visit fee.

Visit your local REI meetup and start networking.

One time exterminator visit as a courtesy for a new tenant and that's it..... after that, its on them...as stated in the leaseAnd DO NOT take phone calls from tenant...let it go to voice and if its an emergency call them back....otherwise text or email only.
