I am not saying I’ve been particularly successful but one idea is to leverage your personal networks or social media to entice some family and friend referrals or bookings.

It is helpful to have an option that allows you to achieve all of the steps in one place (ie. listing your unit to 10+ listing sites, schedule showings, screen tenants with a fully comprehensive application, keep track of things like rent payments + leases, and offers several other tools as well -- the ability for tenants to build a credit score up to 40+ points for on-time rent payments which can be enticing for them as rent tends to be one of the largest monthly expenses for most Americans).

Although the tenant/buyer is free to get a mortgage at any time, it might not be enticing enough for them to do so or they might not be able to get a mortgage in just a few years from now.

They have inflated ARVs to entice you on the spread. 

If you give the private lender a high preferred return and back-end equity when you sale the property at some point then you may be able to entice them to invest with you. 

It’s certainly enticing to take that lower rate to build equity quickly, but what happens if you are without a tenant for a while, or, worse yet, you have a tenant that isn’t paying you?

But if that doesn't sound enticing Levi, I hear Alaska is lovely this time of year...

I wouldn't mind being a PM, but I'm also not enticed to stay in the area.

Maybe giving them an equity stake would entice them?
