You can have all the deals stacked up in the world but if a bank won't finance it you are not pushing forward.

We are going to be implementing more of an SEO strategy to push people to our website, and get more testimonials from residents.We've been fortunate with demand still being high, and we do have good luck with apartments.com.

Any deals you push their way can earn you a commission/referral fee.

Any advice on how to push back or verify what actually needs to be done would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I am in Indianapolis and It seems there is a large push to invest here.

If the tenant pushes back, you can consider screening the individual and then adding them to the lease.

However, in today's market conditions syndicators that are pushing a hold period under 5 years would seem to me that they are being too aggressive on assumptions. 

Don't try to push your business as a realtor or Asa's as a landscaper because those are things you can use in barter once you build strong relationships.Books + podcasts + meetups and relationships will yield big results in 6 months.

That said, long-term the appreciation you get in the Puget Sound region is superior to many other markets, so assuming you find an excellent property management company that is able to screen tenants and only put in very well qualified, vetted occupants and you experience limited issues over the holding period, you'd likely come out ahead retaining the Mill Creek property if your financially able to do so and still buy wherever you are headed out of state.

I'm not familiar with the market up there, but here, there are no properties that need simple rehabs that you can get to push that property's price above its neighborhood market.
