That's the perfect solution, in my opinion.But, expecting people to wait to buy a home when their lease ends, or to not send out resumes to get a great job somewhere else, or to apply to grad school somewhere else, etc., - is just not realistic.  

Far from being under-staffed, we are quite robust for this particular industry at 73 full-time employees.I would say instead that we are rather picky about who we would like to do business with and have developed a system designed to allow our ideal investor to move forward smoothly and prevent us from allowing investors to purchase from our company before they have fully vetted us.  

If you want to get a better sense of the prospective tenants' responsibility as pet owner, ask them to submit a pet resume.

You might also consider creating a pet resume.

I have PM put them in so they run the background SS and stuff... so I am not at Risk like @Steve Vaughan states.were I run up stream is when they call and its a real cold winter and they can't afford heat so I waive too months rent until it warms.. up .. that made me feel good .. but then on the third month when they were suppose to resume paying they just up and left  LOL.. then when I get really frustrated with these folks I just post on BP I have free duplex and I just give the sucker away.. that ends that tenant issue... :)although I can be that landlord as well..

absent some other explanation.always do put BY APPOINTMENT ONLY in my online ads but now more than ever, folks will show up at the door, knocking and everything, some even help themselves to- after knocking -walk into the driveway and around the whole premises 'inspecting' the whole building even if its just one unit within.totally understand scoping out a neighborhood, street, building, and yard before making an appointment but find ppl who just totally ignore whats written in the listing and instead will show up and rather know than call from their cell, inexcusable. maybe a decade or two ago when ppl hardly ever had car phones let alone cell phones it would be understandable but just dont get how applicants expect to be taken seriously while totally being blind to such simple 3 words.then on the flipside, there is the parallel to the story - where the person who calls an employer and/or walks in without appointment despite the ad clearly stating resumes only no calls no walk in applications available, etc - gets the job.

Should I somehow include that on my resume?

My question to all of you is what REI markets do you foresee having the most stable and robust long-term potential in the coming 5, 10, 20 years? 

I feel like I have a much more robust response to the issue now.

Here is a Post I posted the other day for someone who asked the same question.Your Profit and Loss Report is your Resume!
