Open communication with potential tenants is crucial to address any concerns about space limitations and ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship.

Instead of Quality it seems like a philosophy of quantity...

Thank you very much @John Harmon! I

Hello BP community,I recently had a crazy event happen to one of my rental properties (1 of my 9 doors affected in this single family long term rental):A home heating oil company mistakenly delivered a very large quantity of oil to the wrong address.

From what I'm gathering, here's what I'm seeing:Larger- better economies of scale- lower cost PSF/unit- lower up front cost for more- maintenance overtime can be costly- an alternative would be passive investing into a larger fundSmaller- more favorable financing- easier entry market- larger pool of buyers when it comes time to sell- spreading your eggs into different baskets- less stringent code regulations- can still be professionally managedOverall, I think that the small apartments route can still be a a great pool for deals due to the quantity of them and general supply/demand needs.

Napa has a no growth policy, so housing is a pretty fixed quantity for the area, which makes this a very sound, long term investment.

As far as possession and growth goes, I personally wouldn't be concerned with it as long as we're talking about small quantities.  

By establishing clear communication channels and maintaining positive tenant relations, you can foster a harmonious and sustainable environment for long-term success.

So the trick here with Marketing is figuring out how to improve all these issues.Make it easier for them to take that call of actionA better way to be in front of as many people as possible (Quantity)A better way to be in front of as many MOTIVATED people as possible (Quality)see... these 3 points shouldn't be seen as any of these points will do.

Unless you are buying large quantities of properties, there is no reason for them to sell to someone below market versus selling to others at market.
