In addition to offering "cash for keys" assure them that they can use you as a referral on their next tenant application, or offer them a short term-2 month lease.

Worst case scenario, if that doesn't work, I can simply do fertilizer applications and landscape lighting as they don't require much labor.

When I was pursuing that at one point I only had 1 out of 50 applications reach back out.  

@Amanda Lindsay curious about which softwares you evaluated to select Rent Redi?

Hi @Noah Bacon, trying to decide what PM software is best for us to track our investments.

MD is bad compared to Ohio where piercing the corporate veil is a myth - applicable only where the owner (even 100%) has committed a crime or fraud.

There software can tract really small differences in what's presented and what it should be.

Have a way to double checking their information they give you on the application.  

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it? 

Even with that, I think we will still be way ahead. 2 bed, 1 bath, 1200sq/ft, detached 1 car garagePurchase Price: $38,000Repairs: $20,000ARV: $96,000 (based off Zillow, but a local real estate agent thought that was pretty accurate)Mortgage: $430Insurance: $55Trash Included: $25Rent: $1,000We are now going through applications for our first tenant.
