I enjoy working as an agent as it makes me a better investor and it is very gratifying to share knowledge..New construction is a different animal and it is a LOT of work and much more red tape than I thought.

I understand that we listed the home after the school districts opened in this area but this was a red hot market for home sales and rentals and we are surprised to see that there is no interest.

If you can't even get pictures of the interior that should raise red flags. 

Seemed knowledgeable and like he knew what he's doing, owns his own properties and manages others alongside them for additional income.Have not had him long enough to gauge whether this will be a success of a failure, but there are some red-flags that I didn't notice when signing the contract.

I have heard horror stories about the HRD area's historic commissions for rehabs, lots of red tape and headaches... 

Refused to give us a quote, kept lamenting about his truck breaking down, little things that raised red flags.

Apathy and red tape cost everybody.Offer compensation to extend.

You mentioned your goal is to "raise a red flag" for this tenant's future potential landlords, but I suspect there is more to it than that.  

You probably know this already but just for the sake of anyone reading this thread who doesn't... regarding electrical: that 70A panel will need to be replaced, especially if it's Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) , Zinsco, GTE-Sylvania, Westinghouse, or contains any stab-loc breakers (usually with with red stickers) which fail to trip and are prone to starting fires. 70A is not enough for modern power consumption as it is, 100A is now the minimum per code, or even better upgrade to 150A or even 200A service since you have AC.

The down side is all the red tape you need to go through to get the tenant into the house.
