I usually spend my time, if the seller is present, keeping him/her out of the way if needed, pumping tenants for info, taking measurements for room sizes and drawing floor plans with doors and windows and noting appliances and taking pictures.We look for value add properties that are in decent structural and mechanical condition (except for one deal that we got really cheap).

It's a shot in the dark but costs us nothing except for a little bit of time to do. 

Hi YehudaThis forum is very self-management heavy with some exceptions of full service Property Managers like myself. 

While it’s tempting to make exceptions to get someone into a unit, we’ve found that it’s better to hold out for more qualified applicants who are more likely to stay long-term without creating problems down the line.

Frankly, I would be ok with that except for one thing that I am unsure of.

Any one knows what I should do except waiting? 

Interestingly, you can list the property in U.S. dollars and receive payments in U.S. funds, which means I don't really use COP except to cover utility costs like internet, water, and electricity.

Countertops are the exception.

That is a question you may need an answer for if interviewed by SEC.The SEC lawyers I know of generally say that raising $ for others requires a license, unless, you can find an exception to fit under.

One of the exceptions to a "rental activity" is if you rent your property, on average, 7 days' or less.
