I'd hate for a temporary dip in the quality of the tenant pool to be giving my landlord "spidey sense" false alarms on account of taking an extra month or two to fill a unit.

This is basically what I made for myself:So every morning I get a report of everything new that hits the market in LA/Ventura, and I can just click the google links, check it out on RedFin/Zillow, and if it seems promising, fully underwrite it (using tools and/or manually), then offer on it.Don't try and come up with an auto-offer estimate, you can't tell the visual quality of the home or how much the construction will be, etc, stick to estimating values of renovated and distressed property in your tools, make it easy to fill those comps/value metrics into an underwriting model/proforma, and let the end users tweak numbers/select comps/etc so they feel confident in everything.

And I seriously doubt any non profits are money laundering, but then again neither is Joe the Barber LLC or Betty's Property Management LLC (which, especially if they are Single Member LLC's--which flow to the 1040 without any tax return for the entity--are already identified to the government computers at the IRS.If you want to swim with the big fish you have to get wet.Maybe the resident agents will offer to fill this out as a service for $50 to $100 (???)

We just purchased a duplex and filled it immediately at max rent in our area.

Hugely popular area.Our cabin is doing good, hopefully the calendar will fill in more throughout the year.Although lots of people visit the area there is a lot of competition. 

Wishing you a season filled with joy, warmth, and endless blessings.

Oh and people would fill out buyer or seller forms, and they would never populate.

It's good the tenant is talking to you, but I suspect she's just filling you full of excuses and you're lapping them up.Cash for keys is what amateurs do when they don't know how to handle non-paying tenants.

If you bend on this to get a member in because you want to fill the place it will bite you. 

May 2025 find your homes filled with happy guests, very little vacancies, and high nightly rates.  :-)  Reflecting on 2024, what is everything thinking will change in the coming year?
