Especially when I saw the high rankings on Airdna for DFW and started to dig into the highest performing listings and sub markets around the area.

You can use a tool like AirDNA to get estimates of property performance in your specific market and with your typical size and configuration of home.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

So now you are throwing good money after bad probably without a guarantee of any actual performance of the company until much later down the line.  

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

Sorry to jump on the back of this original post but I have a follow-up question to this response.

You can advertise historic performance.  

Even if rents are trending up, if your tenant base can't make ends meet, the asset won't perform.
