I would keep that in mind and definitely want to work with agents who knows there market to help build a successful business!

Will definitely be reaching out. 

Definitely check in with your lawyer to make sure everything’s above board, but these steps should help you handle the situation while keeping the tenant relationship intact.Hope this helps!

Beating the competition with design and amenities is definitely possible due to the smaller pool of people but my concern is having to invest potentially large amounts of extra cash for the amenities just to have a chance in making it cash flow.

I have owned some residental rental properties in the past, so I have some experience and definitely interested in real estate investing. 

I don't want to sell because I'm in an appreciating neighborhood but definitely need to look in to some other, potentially more creative solutions.Any help would be much amazing, thanks everyone for taking the time to read my post!

Maybe take extra steps like walking the prospect to their car and glancing into it, while that is not a 100% indication that they will be a good resident, it definitely helps.

Definitely check their ID (FB is full of fake profiles) and screen thoroughly.... many, many scams out there right now. 

They should definitely keep offering a fee and letting it be known in advance, whatever they deem appropriate that will help them sell (2 percent and up in my market although it is always negotiable).

Here's my best stab at those questions.1) I would definitely recommend wholesaling where you live, at least to start.
