Great replies here, and thank you for sharing examples of what you have or have not done as a private landlord.I do think there is a time and place to offer concessions, just not for people like you and me that are owning/managing portfolios smaller than an apartment complex with 100's of units.

They originally wanted to phase out STRs with deed transfer, but the complexity and lawsuit risk of that verbiage had them change to this. 

apartment complexes?

Let’s look at the math.Pre-Covid, the National Apartment Association (NAA) released data showing that the average renewal costs between $5,000-$10,000 per unit.

Since I am super new to this, I do have a few questions:By testing the list, do you mean what data am I pulling (absentee owner, tired landlord, etc)Testing my mailer, do you mean trying different messaging?

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

I do not do a lot of volume, so it would take me a long time to get a good data set just based on those numbers. 

We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with thorough screening and background checks.For example, we look at everything from income, credit, and background data through our system.
