Do I just bring up that I saw the cat and litter box (they will know I had to go through a closed door) and pull rank or is there a better way to handle this?

At the least, you not see this ranked as 'AAA' anytime soon.

I don't have a "top 50" but I have thought it would be good to rank my SOI.  

In addition to the subscription level you purchase (which determines your search ranking), you can also pay extra to be featured as a top search result on a rotating basis for a certain period of time, so you may want to experiment with this as well.3) Definitely get a web site - see myvr.com, super easy with lots of management tools included at a very low cost.

So after all that was said I ended up changing the site to www.JonBuysDenverHouses.com and have gotten better conversion rates and a higher google search ranking since.

And I'd love to work with some RE service professionals with physical office addresses, to help them rank highly for the keywords they're competing for locally. 

But, to answer your other question about good neighborhoods within Denver proper that are desirable for renters I'd rank them: Capitol Hill (this is where I own and have never had a single vacancy in 5+ years), Washington Park, Highlands, Congress Park, Sunnyside/Tennyson.

Overall, much better customer service than Vacation Rental, but most of their employees are clueless and running something up the ranks is pretty difficult to get done.

Dallas metro is here to stay as an economic powerhouse and ranks below the national average in cost of living.

So there is a livability component for you and your family and then there is the possible investment aspect of the equation.You need to make a sheet and rank them in order of importance from 1 to 5.Many buyers look at houses as investments but in a lot of cases the equity build up is just keeping up with yearly inflation values and you also spend about 1 to 1.5% annually of the purchase price maintaining the property.
