We use it for follow up re-engagement and appointment setting.

Finally, and this is going to sound zen-ish, but there's also value in doing nothing.

I don't have to worry about collateral casualties from a round going through a wall, like with a rifle, and the best thing is the unique sound working the pump makes.

I intend to rent out the units by room to college students (does it sound like this would work in this area and what are some general tips/things I should look out for?).

We go above and beyond when it comes to protection.. starting with insurance coverage, sings in the listing and in the property that there is no guard on duty (as silly as that sounds), putting extra locking device high enough so youngsters can't reach, an alarm/beep system to alert them that door opens for those with small children (or elderly) so they cannot wander out in the backyard with no one noticing and risk drowning.

Real estate success is driven by demand, it sounds like you will have more tenant options and higher prices in Ft.
