There are lots of hard money options (or maybe not "lots" but not too uncommon) with no appraisal required - that makes the offer equivalent to cash (closing within a couple days and no appraisal contingency - its out there)The lender still has to ok the deal, appraisal or not.

I was recently offered this, wanted to get feedback, questions, etc. 

Unfortunately many landlords take the first group they find in these situations and come from the ideology that all college students are slobs so no sense offering anything nice. 

Denver and its surrounds have particularly active markets and a lot of active individuals offering ancillary services so I'd suggest you research those available services you're looking at offering to help you get an idea for what is well covered, what is lacking and what your competitor's pricing looks like.

Hi everyone,For those who took their real estate license class online with AceableAgent, I heard they often offer great discounts and coupons.

If the place is in decent shape I would offer to credit it toward the next month's rent and write addendum including no future pets.

If everyone uses your tool, and everyone gets the same answer and places the same offer, then no one has any competitive advantage.

These properties also offer you the opportunity to perform cost segregations which help with those current taxes. 

Understanding your market, what you are offering, and the kind of tenant you can expect to attract and KEEP will help you determine how to screen.

They perhaps can build cheaper than you can, finance cheaper, operate cheaper and to get it leased up, offer things like 1-2-3 months free rent.
