Data is crucial and since the original posting was about overcoming objections from buyers, i think being able to show a study that helps a buyer visualize why Zillow is a data source and not a decision making source, would be very valuable.

Consider waiving the old fees and as others have said adopt a much higher fixed fee going forward to function as a strong deterrent, ensure the PM company enforces this and communicates it clearly to the tenant.Consider changing payment terms to weekly, bi-weekly etc to better match their cashflow, if you think it is beneficial to keep them and they are consistently late by the same intervalConsider your goals, landlords are in it to make money, but do not have to stomp out every puppy they see either, if someone is terminally ill or something, this is exactly how you ruin your brand/reputation.If the property still has positive cashflow and the cost of turnover is high, you should probably at least try to exercise the flexibility you have as an investor to keep tenants going through dire straits a chance to get steady again.

True, most won't be able to visualize the finished result, but you will get a feel for who the ad is attracting.

@James Martin - definitely won't prevent a theft but it is a good deterrent!

That being said, there are key indicators that allow investors to speculate on what will happen next in the market.The last market crash around 2007 can be visualized below.

I've found that this helps curb a lot of the potential risk and provides a deterrent to destruction of the unit/house, etc.  

I think the tenant could just as easily claim not to have signed something if they do it in front of me, so I'm not sure it's enough of a deterrent for me personally.

An experienced, licensed Structural or Civil Engineer should be able to get a good idea of the cause visually, and give you an idea of options (excavation and replacement, adding deeper foundation systems to support your existing foundation, etc. - if water is your issue, sometimes just adding some drainage and re-grading your yard can make a huge difference).  

IMHOEvery deal can be and considerd a MLM (if a person(s) pays off others) ..or not.Every deal in the works can be considered a pitch (wether its a visual, audio a combo of both...a hands on sample..etc).The main thing I see is to go with the deal when self is comfortable..and not a minute sooner.Every deal can be good.
