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. 

Looking to invest with Praxis, but wanting to compare their current offering with a couple more. 

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. 

Prince Georges county in MD also offers over the counter liens.

I've seen some people post on here about offering modern/classic game consoles. 

Therefore, I have been trying to study up on techniques used to make good offers and over come objections. 

For this reason, I would take inventory of the local banks within your target markets that offer financing options that best serve your real estate needs (again, usually the smaller local banks), and build depository relationships with them.
