I was wondering the same. We have made it past the inspection and appraisal stage and only thing left to do is wait for the loan to be underwritten and we close next week.  I tried to be respectful and ask permission, but the seller said no. I noted that I would include in the listing that it is not available for show until next weekend, so the potential applicant knows and they will not be entering the house, so really can the seller do anything to stop me if I post?

I do not plan to take any fees or do any formal interviewing I just want to get the word out and start pre-screening (income, pets, move in date etc) and invite interested people to an open house the day after closing. 

Anybody run into any issues with this? (Yes, closing could fall though then I would just notify people if this happens)

Thanks that does make me feel better, and I would even say it's "mid crime" (orange on Trulia map), but yeah I was thinking about adding floodlights and there is already a cage. Thanks for the tips and confident boost!

Hello, just signed a contract on my first rental property and a little concerned. I purchased a home just east of fair park in a not so great neighborhood for crime purposes.  The street and close streets don't look bad and the houses surrounding are not to run down, but should I be worried about crime? Would love to hear from anybody that has negative or positive experiences. I got a little swept away in getting sick of the bidding wars and just wanted a property and now worried I made a mistake.

 The house itself is adorable, great curb appeal and EVERYTHING is brand new (roof, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliances) so seems would be low repair cost, but any other things I should be thinking about? I think I should for sure get over 1% rents but realize it may be hard to attract good tenants.  Any thoughts at all would be appreciated!!

Hello, looking to buy my first rental property (hopefully today if all goes well!) Would love to meet up with others at the next event!
