A strong online presence and fresh marketing are how you dominate the market.

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.

From my understanding, based on my experience buying and selling properties in Texas, any known repair or damage—even if resolved—should still be disclosed, along with a note explaining that it was fixed.

I searched for homes based on the mortgage I could afford.

Start small, build a strong network, and conduct thorough market research to align with your investment strategy.

For your midterm lease, I strongly recommend you use a state-specific lease to make sure all of the landlord requirements are covered as well as any state-specific disclosures.

Diversity is great, but the fundamentals for real property are too strong in my opinion. 

There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

Longer lead times I get alot of intern inquiries which can be fine but income wise they aren't as strong a candidate.  

Ask me off public to explain.But, the point is, you are going to pay based on the purchase price.
