@Luz Pagan this is pretty typical in a hot market if you are a new player on the scene. 

I feel that im getting to know the larger players in the market by doing that. 

No, you cannot, there're very specific rules against it, despite the YouTube webinars encouraging you to deduct them (the symphony players lost a court case against the IRS trying to deduct their performance tuxedos)and so on.I know it's tempting to think you're sticking it to the IRS, but in the end they will stick it to you.

The Columbus market has been crazy and I know a large number of OOS investors are testing the waters, so just make sure you are ready to move or you will find your calls go unreturned as A players don’t have the time.

NEWS: I just got the fee reduced to $55 per player now.

If so, you have engaged in an ad homenim approach.

Of course building large apartment complexes is a big endeavor, but if there are a lack of apartments, I bet renters would love some nice quads nearby built by smaller players.

If the tenants understand WHY you are doing what you are doing, it will be easier for them to engage and grasp WHAT the goal is and HOW to get there.If a tenant has a bank account, it can be beneficial for receiving, saving and managing money, as well as for paying rent and utilities.

@Bjorn Ahlblad so you're saying their behavior is ok because the banks may have also engaged in illegal/immoral practices?

This can help set you apart from many other players in your market.
