Turns out, the right marketing found renters who appreciated the quality and were willing to pay a premium.

I don't know enough about your rentals to determine quality, location, or layout, but I suspect my numbers are pretty close.However, your utilities are pretty expensive in the winter.

A/B Class is your top choice as this will quality tenants. 

Other introverts will feel comfortable with you and that could actually help your journey......more important qualities are honesty, integrity and being a harder worker than others.Just be yourself and go get started.

The real estate investing industry uses "Classes" to rank property performance risk, but there's NO agreed upon industry model:(Here's what we use for our Metro Detroit market:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.
