@Kellie Harden - You are in our backyard! 

Just a heads up to all we are at the beginning of a hardening property market so expect rate increases that are not pretty.

@Kellie Harden Is there a question here?

@Stephen Harden Door hangers, bandit signs in relatives/friends yards in those areas, signs in the yards of the properties that we purchase in those areas and direct mail. 

Or hardening rentals from the elements to decrease utility cost?

Even the most 'hardened' property can end up with some unforeseen issue that costs ME thousands.I dont buy in flood zones, earthquake zones, places that have hurricanes, or bad school districts.  

those properties are hardened and take a LOT less management than a residence with bad wiring or leaky plumbing, etc.

A rental that was bought and fixed up as a rental will probably make a better rental because the finishes  can be hardened for a tenant.  

@Mitchell Litam yeah the paint or wall can harden after it drys up.

@Travis Harden Fair is going to be whatever you can come to an agreement on.
