I have some highlighted aspects that we have to offer for your scenario.

And if you are developing new housing projects, how do you highlight the positives to the community? 

I will highlight my 2 cents as a 15-year LL veteranDennis M from Erie makes a solid point - $500 deposit will not cover the extensive damage that a pet can do and the repair work that may need to take care of.So YES - you can get a little more money with non refundable deposits, or deposits, or higher rent.BUT actually keeping that money at the end of the day is hard to do.One thing no one has mentioned - that is that good prop mgt requires regular consistent checking in on the property - even better when you can drop in on a repair when they are not home or not prepared for your visit.

For example, you might put together a packet of information for the appraiser that includes comps for the house, and detailed info on the competing trailer parks you mentioned - highlighting the fact that the other trailers are in much worse condition that yours, how much they rent for compared to yours, etc. 

Just last week this memo came out highlighting a major policy change in one of Cleveland, Ohio's most popular suburbs Lakewood, Ohio.What do you think? 

Phil - The file will be highlighted in this week's newsletter . . .

It's simply not worth it.Sorry, this needs to be re-highlighted as maybe the most important advice ever to be passed on BP.Beyond that... working with banks is like working with the Government, do not expect it to be a logical process.

Of course, we highlight our articles in our weekly newsletter (50k+ subscribers currently), and have partnerships with other large, reputable websites, where some content is syndicated.What are you waiting for?

Not sure if this is the best place to put this comment, but I thought I should highlight how grateful I am to all the speakers I talked to.

The appraiser in this case was trying to say it was only a one bedroom and he was not counting the 20x15 master bedroom in the rear which truly was the highlight of the apartment."
