I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

i couldn't do a BRRRR last year because I got outbid on everything i went after.the points i was making are that (1) success right now is therefore taking more effort and (2) standard LTRs in good neighborhoods are still a great long-term strategy, but they don't cash flow. 

@Kendric BufordRecommend 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?

I understand that placement fee if one month is often standard for PM companies, but usually a lot of work and effort goes into placing a tenant.

Can anyone recommend a company that offers a builders risk policy to cover the construction period but then will also allow a cancellation and refund after work is finished to convert into a standard landlord policy.  

The owner can designate a host who shall be responsible, and authorized, to act on the owner's behalf to promptly remedy any violation of these standards or the permit.

It wasn't until the Garn-St.Germain act in 1982 that they started becoming standard.

If you haven't found  renter in 3-4 weeks, drop the price (but not your standards).

There's a minimum standard that landlords should abide by - sure.

The company “cares about its tenants” and believes in providing “above standard living conditions,” it said in its statement.Other Philadelphia properties owned by RAD or the other businesses have been licensed with L&I as vacant real estate.
