From there your options open up. 

I have signed up for two meetups now and look forward to getting this ball rolling.

Then assign points and notify the applicants of their standing?

That is not typically disclosed up front. 

I have personally invested in these types of properties in Alamance county.If you're open to STRs there's properties up and down the coast as well as lots of mountain vacation properties out West in places like Asheville, Boone, Hendersonville, Cherokee.

But, that is where the money is.I pick up trash at our properties. 

Keep it up

There is a ton of info on this site, as well as a meet up that others have mentioned.  

Ask your PM how to come up with some strategic incentives...possibly listing high and reducing every 7-10 days until it's rented, offer a move in special, a gift card, future rent credit, etc. 4.

That's the other challenge that i've learned, with only one month as SD, if the tenant leaves even in a relatively new build the fees add up.
