Edwards, Audi, Abercrombie & Fitch and many other giant corporations named after their founders are exceptions to this, so who knows maybe Handel Housing will be the next Trump Organization.

In fact, I’m on the mailing list of a few local brokers and get their offerings almost every day.You are not competing with the giant mega-hard money lenders here, who lately bundle and sell their loans to Wall Street.

I also give a move in gift and that's about it.My move in gift is usually a new door mat, a basket of fruits, a set of scented candles, female tenants get a dozen of giant sunflowers by the window.

I would also put a plug in for flipkey.com, which has drawn more of a Canadian/European market for my vacation rental.

I like the more European approach of get three bids and take the middle when basing the decision solely on price and not value.For the record though, if Adolf Hitler came to me and asked for a bid to build a concentration camp it would most certainly be met with resistance.

Each summer an influx of eastern European students descend on the OBX for work opportunities and the local businesses enjoy the "work ethic" of the Euro students. 

I use it also as a seperate landing page with own domain to target European clients.

My dad is currently going through their process so I can check the giant booklet he has and see what info could be useful to post :).

They have 4 numbers stamped on the key.I use a battery powered rotary engraver to scribe the 4 digit number on each deadbolt and knob.Takes me 5 min to swap out the locks on a door.Put the used sets in a ziplock bag and rotate.I have a document in my Evernote account that has a system for letting me know which key goes to which house(not full address: not giving full details online Ha) and corresponding 4 digit key number.Even without that, I can walk up to any one of my houses, and find the correct key which are in numerical order on my giant key ring.Yes, I  keep my key ring locked up.

Before the Canadiens, it was the Europeans buying FL condos-lack of knowledge, euro strength, comparison price to france/spain warm areas and ease of travel.
