If the phone stopped ringing It wouldnt matter for a long time 

@George Skidis, if i ever go into IL ill give you a ring.

I ring door bell and wait for them to show up even when they say I don’t have to.

If the landlord provided the Ring doorbell, then it belongs to them and they control the settings.

I wanted to share a piece of advice that I've found incredibly helpful in managing the demands of this business: avoid giving out your personal cell phone number to owners or tenants, especially tenants.I highly recommend setting up a separate business line, like through a service such as Ring Central.

The idea of them being mastermind ponzi artist to me does not ring true.

Or else we get the kind of exploitation as championed by Fred. 

A good real estate attorney who understands probate sales in NYC is crucial here — they’ll help with the proper contract language, contingencies, and court approval if needed.As for security, since it’s vacant and in rough shape, you might want to board it up, install a Ring cam or similar, and keep showing appointments limited and supervised. 

In this MSA we have rings of markets.

I suspected he was part of a ring of folks that found peeps with good enough credit and put them up to it..
