If you're unsure, talking to local property managers or even prospective tenants can give you a clearer sense of whether a property will rent quickly.Best of luck with your first investment!

(you prorate your first month)When showing my appt to prospective tenants, I will typically know the condition when the current tenants move out. 

You may somehow inform the uninitiated, (not necessarily in writing), that If you have to evict her, her future rental prospects are toast. 

They represent prospective buyers viewing the property as inspectors, contractors, etc.  

Over the past year, I fully renovated a house owned by a family member, which has given me some hands-on experience.Currently, I am exploring properties that I could potentially fix up and have been practicing underwriting for these prospective investments.

I'd have no issue if they mailed me or scraped TOT info to reach out etc, but to use a businesses platform to market and take revenue away, and have to disguise your contact info to do it...no thanks.I realize some of that is just the name of the game, and plenty are ok with prospecting this way but for me you can use the demographic of STR owners without directly sourcing via the competitions platform. 

When we felt uncomfortable with this, and asked them to process a section 8 prospective tenant, they say they wont work with section 8 applicants because housing authority will pay the rent directly to the owner.

Prospects never read the description on the marketplace. 

"January 5, Met with prospective residents, 2 hours"  I'm sure you can google examples.
