Classic troll behavior in this thread, Karen nails all of the Greatest Hits:- Comes looking for help, starts by belittling a polarizing group of people (realtors) in hopes to drum up support for her cause- deflects any and all blame or responsibility for her situation- quickly realizes that everyone is not on her side- offers support and kindness to those who agree with her plight- constructive criticism or actual actionable advice is met with personal insults, threats of physical violence, and questioning of one's political affiliation- ironically insults the intelligence and/or grammatical shortcomings of 'detractors' in several overly wordy, poorly written, and grammatically unsound posts.- mystical tales of connections with untold wealth and previous successes rendering the opinions/advice of her detractors moot.- continues to be blinded by how her attitude and behavior are the primary cog in this.Me:

That said I did just junk dryer that was probably 25 years old that had a drum belt break and since I had 2 extra dryers I figured I would upgrade for the tenant.

Don't get something smaller and lighter.Get a 1/4 in. drum auger snake that's 25 feet long.

And take a deposit and pet fee, just in case, in line with what's in your ad.As for the fire pit, I'm envisioning lots of pot and a drumming circle LOL.

(drum roll)....tax refund just now.They appear rather crestfallen when they are told it's probably a good thing that the SEE the place first and then will be required to fill out an application and go through the screening process of credit check, criminal check and proof of income business.I figure I'll never hear from them again. 

If she's teaching opera singing or drum lessons, or beginning violin - can you imagine the noise problem?

@Rob Drum has a tight hold on the Birmingham market and knows better than I do but I wholesale properties to buy and hold investors and have many friends doing this in Birmingham.

I tried google pay per click once and all I managed to do was drum up a huge bill without much in the way of results. 

They are out drumming up listings, find a motivated seller that needs to sell in 22 days or the home is going to the auction block, really there isn't time to list it, hold open houses, or screw around with typical homebuyers who like to dilly dally, then I get a phone call from that agent asking if we can close in 18 days with the agent as the buyer LOL.If that agent's capital is already tied up, it might go to an investor client of the agent, or the agent might call me and ask if I know anyone (such as a recent cash out refinance client) with the down payment that's ready to move fast.
