I welcome the day when multiple offers and craziness eases off and we get back to a balanced market! 

We paid for this deal out of a HELOC on our primary for ease of transaction with plans to Pull a HELOC on the investment after essential repairs were completed.

When I learned about the position of showing agent, I thought it would be a great way to ease into my career....build some confidence.

I was hoping you guys can chime in on possible reno costs to help explain and make an accurate initial offer (doing my best to get a contractor in), how to make this smooth for him while he’s here, and any other ways to put him at ease to lock this up.

That opens up a can of worms with fair housing laws, but also gives me a chance to make sure everyone gets along and POTENTIALLY convince prospective tenants they wouldn't be comfortable so they chose not to pursue an application.My other way of preventing tensions between renters is to target my advertising.

All else aside, given the amount of rent you could be charging it may be an idea to sit down and develop a long-term (2-4 year) budgetary plan for the unit/complex so that you can 1)gradually increase rents to a more uniform standard--as one member stated, "if they are all comparable units, there shouldn't be a drastic difference in the rent amounts" 2)eventually get all the units with equivalent or comparable upgrades (to keep things even with the neighborhood comps based on ammenities), and 3)ease your mind about the financial plan and trajectory of your complex (so you can just follow a predetermined plan and adjust when needed as time progresses).

Try to get a feel for the workflow and ease of use.Look for experience, affordability, and a personality that you click with.

Especially if the payments are online so they can manage with ease. 

Sometimes they are local like we have tonight and sometimes they are on more of a national scale.And we are the 2nd Tuesday of the month, and for a few more months at least we are on Zoom and even when we go back to in person meetings, we will still be maintaining a virtual meeting as everyone seems to like it so much for the ease and convenience.
