Maybe they've been burned by landlords in the past and are being very careful.You can legally reject them based on personality, facial tattoos, body odor, or other factors, but you better make sure you can prove that it wasn't based on any protected class like race, religion, familial status, etc.

I’m curious - are you leaning toward staying local in Connecticut, or are you open to exploring oppurtunities in out-of-state markets like Phoenix?

If that sparks your interest, i'm curious which market you’re leaning toward for the replacement property...are you thinking high-growth spots like San Antonio or somewhere smaller like Omaha?

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

I have plenty of properties that I can lean on if I must but it is something that I definitely want to get added to my portfolio.

Resort and vacation destinations tend to perform well, but it’s critical to research local laws and trends to ensure the property aligns with your financial goals.What type of investing are you leaning toward?

We constantly lean on their support and resources when we hit a roadblock.

Quote from @Jed Butikofer: @Timothy Chi, I think I am starting to lean more this direction due to the fact I've found cash flow deals to be really hard to come by. 

Slight Update: After speaking with more BP members, I’m increasingly leaning toward making my first purchase in New York—a 4-unit rental property where I’d be my own landlord.

They are all looking at strategies to use for their first deal and many of us are leaning towards a house hack to reduce the amount of capital we need upfront.
