Have strong policies and procedures (and an elevator pitch for each) when someone asks you how you operate.

@Austin Bright Texas is currently seeing very aggressive premium hikes due to several large insurance companies pulling out of markets and due to claims for numerous storms and natural disasters (hail, hurricanes, Houston floods, etc).

With systems and procedures in place that are time tested to welcome longer-term tenants and give investors a hands-free experience.The industry is maturing year over year with the backing of necessity.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for lead generation, follow-up, marketing, etc. 

I highly recommend creating procedures for them, either written or recorded.

Remember, many (if not most) off-market properties spoken about in the investor sphere are not going to be in tip-top shape, and are, by nature, distressed in one way or another, often times condition and deferred repairs.

Check your state laws because I think you can charge 2x the first year but after that you have to reduce it to one month of rent.More important is solid screening, then policies and procedures to keep tenants on track so they don't get out of control.
