.- Try to raise the rent and the tenant will give you a list of all the maintenance issues they want you to fix. --- They will offer to fix them in exchange for lower rent, but ask yourself, if the tenant has been living there for 25 years, why isn't everything fixed already?

Hey, I went down my usual list (all local credit unions) that had the best rates 6 months ago, this one was the best one that I used for my last mortgage. 

I have a close associate with a large project there and the local banks have turned off the spick-et on funding his developments and these are very large multi thousand acre deals.

It will be a year or two before they emotionally catch up to reality and list at reasonable prices.

Ask the listing agent for a list of known issues.

In addition to Turbo Tenant, I would suggest that you have a local Realtor list it for rent. 

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

This would help focus such a call/support for you and hopefully get you more and valuable responses.I would say the blind spots and budgeting is top on my list.

Sending you a PM would love to see your listings
