Thought about Stainless Steel wire, but tends to sag if people put their feet on. 

I feel like once I have it set up I will have better connections with people I have worked with and will work with! 

What have any of these people done since the high rates?

Having more people liable for the lease is usually positive in my experience.

Yes the penalties are high, so if people think they might be selling when they renew their mortgage, they get an open rate mortgage that allows them to sell with less of a penalty than a closed rate mortgage. 

That sounds cheesy until you talk to people who have lost their purpose.

People staying for 30-90 days are a completely different customers than someone in a years lease.

If you google anything regarding mortgage rates or refinancing, you only see lending tree and rocket mortgage or some brokers that will send your information to 1000 people.
