How do you structure your referral programs to ensure they are mutually beneficial?

Aggression aside, intact dogs tend to urine-mark their territory, incl indoors.

Beach facing units and complexes tend to get higher rent, even though the amenities at Destin West are superior.

If it tends to be for a pretty set time frame it may be more of a tutoring/teaching type of situation.I tend to stay out of my tenants' business unless it involves safety of the neighbors or some kind of major crime, so yes, drug dealing would fall into that but most lower level dealers will have more than 1 customer and many high level ones who might only have one visitor are not as likely to have them daily.

There's always buying opportunities but in times like these, it tends to be more niche, which requires you to have a more specific strategy with goals in mind.

In my experience, tenants who are willing to overpay tend to have other underlying issues that will show up down the road. 

Caveat, experienced investors rarely "shop" they usually have one or two lenders that specialize in certain products, keep all of the investor's data on file with current documents and they tend to care more about convenience, experience, and just getting the deal closed so they will continue to go to the same lender who can make that happen. 

I tend to be in the later camp as a personality trait and not as someone with hard data that knows which one is better. 

It depends on the type of home but I tend to really like Second Chance Inc in Baltimore.
