Of course the 'faux media' makes it sound like everyone doing 'non conventional' REI like LOs is a sheister... because their advertisers, execs, the 'preferred shareholders' and Crown empire's 1300 'board of directors' that sit on the Global 1000 boards, don't like it when you begin figuring- out their game plays, or rock the Maritime Admiralty ship, on dry land... however I've always liked to "rock the boat," a bit.

(rough –> due to unseen interior )Maybe add exterior and interior photos when possibleI been attending one of my local weekly sheriff auctions,but I plan to watch the process and game players for next nine months before considering pulling the trigger.

I had seven people slotted, 5 showed and of those, 2 would have likely met my criteria and signed leases.One thing I definitely learned: "we are still looking and we will get back to you" = they are not interested.  

There is a $35.00 Non refundable background check that the applicant needs to pay to smartmove.Look at the ID of the person when they get to the property,.......and make sure it matches the person.....A quick tip on showing......and setting rental prices.......Do a "soft advertisement on Craigslist with all the info.....but without the actual address.....just the name of the street.....see if you get lots of responses quickly.......if you do......that means you need to take the ad down for a couple days and then re advertise it at a higher price..............I advertise on CL and when the phone rings.....Do NOT ANSWER.............let people leave voicemail .....you want to see if when they leave a message they sound like someone that you may feel comfortable talking with on a daily basis......And DO NOT DO OPEN HOUSES..............What you need to do is when the first person you talk to that you get a good vibe with expresses an interest in seeing the house......you tell them I'm showing it Saturday at 10am and Sunday at 3pm...........then be quiet.....they will pick a time.......and you repeat that process with everyone that calls and make sure it at or around the same time slot as everyone else.....Don't tell them other people will be there also......When they do show up and they see other people there also.....it creates more of a demand for the room :-)   Also...pick a time that is withinn 24 hours of talkin with the person....if you talk with them Monday afternoon....tell them you are showing it tonight at 7 and tommorow at 6.        

I leave a note in the door slot that says:  "Make sure you keep paying...We know where you live.   

Just like slot machines.There is a senior, in particular that I am thinking of, in the building I live in.  

I just dump in a bunch of quarters in the slot, it works fine.

It seems like everyone living in Colorado is issued a dog, so I just expect that has taken the +1 slot so I do not add that in.

Also an allen slot on the bottom can unjam it.

They've been paying via check for the last 20 years and my dad had been traveling 90 minutes round trip to pick up the checks (multiple times per month since of course they would claim they dropped the rent through the drop slot and it must've gotten lost in the room).
