Real estate agents are not highly regulated in Costa Rica as opposed to North America.  

I agree that pricing a rental too high is a classic mistake than can make it sit, but don't you think encouraging landlords to rent quick will make them compromise on the vetting of the tenants?

I would protect myself and cut my losses so I was not looking over my shoulder or getting high blood pressure every time I heard a knock on the door (hoping it is not the FBI showing up to ask you some questions). 

I have a template that I provide and they can either complete the template or just give me their documents and I'll complete the template before prepping the taxes.Self Managed, High Volume, Very Organized - these folks keep up on their activity. 

NJ does not have a high eviction rate.Greenville doesn't have easy transportation to NYC like you find in other areas of Jersey City so it is not a highly sought after area.  

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

I highly recommend them.  

For example, most Developers in the Seattle area are taking many properties and turning them to condos since that is a booming market with high rental rates And sometimes more conveniently built and accommodating then a SFH.

I did it myself for a number of years - good rents for sure but never easy.We have found if you buy in the right areas you can have really high-quality people renting by the room though (our average credit score was >700 for a long time).Do think short-term rentals are equally (or more) challenging in my experience.Regardless of the model, I think it's a great call to offload the thinking and stress by partnering with an operator who does the heavy lifting. 

Keep in mind that this comes with high turnover, and (often) students who will beat the hell out of the property!
