The result is unwanted interactions.

I’m pounding the pavement harder this year and still finding my clients and myself great properties.

Pound on doors and beg for business." 

I didn’t consider that “for rent” signs could invite unwanted attention.  

I will have to dig up old photos if I still have them but one of the worst was a dump in San Antonio where I finally got the tenants out and then went to rehab it myself only to find myself running out of the house to yack in the front yard from the smell of many pounds of dog feces inside the house.

My in-laws were very PRO OBAMA, pounded it into me for months before the election.

So now with prices and rents were they are at and this crop of investors who have it pounded into their brain that a property needs to positive cash flow with 20% down other wise its no deal.. that seperates new builds generally on their face  IE they won't hit those metrics..Now in parts of Texas were things can be cheaper than west coast and rents a tad higher I can see were investors could swoop in and hit the magic 100 a month positive with 20% down on new construction.  

The kitchen cabinets alone are worth more in added value.I protested the appraisal but mortgage company told me to pound sand.

I would not mind....it may keep unwanted visitors away.

They have systems in place to do such a review, and as they will be responsible to run your property at the lowest cost possible, they will be very detailed in their evaluation.Yes, it may cost you a couple of thousand dollars, but in this playing field beware for penny wise pound foolish.
