Too much personal debt and too little income with too many expenses, after an unexpected ER visit or job loss, is an accident waiting to happen. 

We lost two tenants with pit bulls that caused a lot of property damage, one stripper who had frequent late night visitors, and another tenant who got behind on paying rent.

We're the first US city to have more than 60 MILLION visitors in one year.

You have some good questions but a little more specifics about your strategy would help as well.Rockford is attempting to attract visitors through youth/amateur sports and tourism.  

In the units where they have an in-unit WD, this persuades them to not allow visitors to do a load of laundry in my machines (yes, I pay for machines too and this has been a good investment, as opposed to tenants providing their own). 

Go to the REIA meeting as a visitor if you're not a member.  

We visit or if you're out of time I use my cell or virtual tour the property.

ben, i think the design you selected is great and now you should place all your focus on the content and how visitors will navigate your site.to expand on jeffrey's comment, it's not immediately obvious what your company does. it wasn't until i got to the footer that i had a better understanding. but even the "about" page is not clear and concise and not talking on a fifth grade level "that utilize Contract Wholesaling to financially build our growing Real Estate portfolio which contains Buy and Hold properties for the use of Rentals throughout the country" and that is just the second part of a very long sentence. and as an opener, your "about" page is about you, and it should never be about you, it should be about your market. seth godin recently released a blog article about the "about" page, here's the link:http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/09/five-rules-for-your-about-page.htmli based my about page on seth's article.

You find he is at the rental property each time you go by, but the girlfriend says he is "just visiting" but does not live there.At what point does he turn from "visitor" (simply her boyfriend who visits --a lot-- and who [allegedly] only sleeps over "occasionally" [ha!])

The 1604/IH-10 area is good as well for visitors to stay.
