Hey REI, The kind of flippers you are talking about I call the Runners because they run out to find the property show it to the invester and they get a finders fee right.

Not tenant but perhaps:)So far you are runner up at 20 years:)thanks,Matt

I want to do actual costs on my car (new 4 runner) and standard mileage on her car which has much lower operating costs.Is this OK?

Have you tried rubbing bar soap along the runners?

Buildium and Rent Manager seem to be the front runners based on this string.

In the BP spreadsheet section:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/ScottTren...Memphis is the clear front runner in rent % of price, which is attractive from a cash flow standpoint. 

I only flip now and do not want to deal with tenants that could turn out to be crazy drug people, terrorists, gun runners and or sex traffickers.

Other jobs frequently needed are painting, pet care, child care, house cleaning, livestock care, personal assistant, errand runner (think grocery shopping, taking car in for maintenance, etc), and a multitude of others.  

All last summer I talked to anyone I could about it and I had numerous people interested in investing but when the runner hit the road, no one dove in with us, which is totally fine.

Rentals are one area where the little guy can still compete with the mega corps and large apt complexes, often winning over some choice tenants with personal service, flexible terms, and small touches...Just a few ways, off the top of my head, that I think we can gain a competitive advantage over more rigidly run large complexes (though all markets vary, so these are based on my experiences)....) flexible terms (I offer a six month or one year lease; of course, most six month folks renew, but some like the flexibility; some large complexes are "one year or nothing" in my market..)) new mats (inside and out of the doors; bath, even runners or area rugs in high traffic area for vinyl plank flooring)...while they add some "wow factor" and look like gifts, there is self interest at work here, however, as the matting greatly reduces wear and tear on my flooring.) pets on approval ( I have some of the best behaved canine tenants imaginable, and their high quality tenant owners stay long term, are respectful, and pay well,yet are often shunned by many "no pets" larger places)) small (tax deductible) $20 gift card at holidays ..
