@Jonathan Watson, I think that is a great post from you to be able to speak to someone's character.  

You (almost) never draw a W2 salary from being a landlord.Rich Dad examples are for a completely different scenario, such as potentially running a store or a gym or being a traveling guru teaching others about creating corporations and writing fiction books about fictional characters who supposedly influenced you. ;)Fringe benefits of C-corporations are extremely limited for their owners even when it is appropriate to consider a C-corp for some other reasons.

Does it look or feel like marketing.Be brief....don't need a 3 page letter....no one will read that in the age of 140 characters.

I used to get nothing up front but would make sure I was covered for materials and subs and got my profit later usually...Yes, references are a necessary evil and certainly can provide some input into character, I would just make sure that they are actually legit references :-)

Not necessarily condos as that might be typical.The reason is in any market that's not a favorable attribute and there isn't much you can do about it.

These people will be your partners - make sure integrity, character, etc are required values to join the group.

When listing furnishings it only gives me a small space to write and then cuts off the characters, do you all add an attachment and say see attachment?

I attribute it to people moving out of state post pandemic (first-hand experience w/ move-out notices the last 30-60 days) and Owners getting greedy because the media is talking about rent increases. 

Are there aspects of your character that can be leveraged, or improved. 

*on the MLS*There were a few other little tips/tricks/insight we use for ourselves and our clients on stuff like this and I feel like i could write another 1,000 characters on the "perspective" of just this one deal...but i'm aware we've crossed the threshold of "too long".Most of my deals are traditional, light sweat equity buy and holds.
