The wrong tenant can lead to non-payment, evictions, and property damage.

Now many will try and BRRR or rehab properties which you can force appreciation, again not another bad strategy and can lead to better returns but its more active and takes more $ to do.

Any leads on investor friendly agents in the area would be much appreciated!

From digging into real time market data and calcualting cash flow.. to literally driving for dollars, you want someone with an incredible network of pros who can unearth leads (probate attorneys, divorce attorneys, local fix and flip circles) that might connect you with a ready buyer or flud tenant.

A formal business built on this seems overkill as you’re essentially paying someone for a service that already has standard model.If you and the parnter have distinct business tasks/abilities (i.e. not what you would hire an agent or contractor for), such as off-market lead generation, that’s a different discussion.

Most agents paying for leads are inexperienced, which is why they need to pay for leads.Look for an agent with a minimum of 15 years of active experience.

Selling the convenience of the location first and in such detail may lead some renters to assume that there is something not so great about the house itself since the sale in on the location. 

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Having a lease from someone that has no authority to lease the unit does make them a tenant.
