Why, because that means if I offer a very nice house, doesn't have to be fancy, I stand out above all the other Landlords.

Allen County Comm College is typically going to have only 18-20yr olds attending as it's only a 2 yr school - I'd say look to rent to oil/gas, employees, however the industry is in the toilet at the moment - not much going on now.You might check to see if there's a windfarm nearby - I would assume there are one or two, they might have a few support or construction personnel that need short or long term rentals, some like fully furnished - doesnt need to be anything fancy.  

I think it really dresses up the place nicely.We are renting our half duplex for $1100 in a market where an outdated, cheaply done unit in a less desirable neighborhood would rent for ~$750-$900. $1100-$1200 is the highest I have seen for our market.

That or setting up access if you want to be a little more fancy.

I want to get fancy with it and include phone numbers and such but not there yet!

You may have a space challenge, but they do make some pretty thin hoods.Pretty fancy looking rental.

3) Sell it as a lease option, subject to, contract for deed, land contract, AITD, Wrap, or whatever other fancy term you want to call it, and have them bring the loan current.

Try to find a local exterminator that doesn't have a fancy car and a big ad in the phone book.Those kinds can rip you off with high fees.There is a difference between pest control and exterminating.I can tell you ongoing pest control is crazy for what they charge.With mice you just do not want to plug up a wall.They will come out in other places in the unit or if they can't get out will die in the walls and stink up the place.The tenants just as with squirrels will complain they scratching and moving in the walls keeping them from sleeping.Also they can chew on electrical behind the walls and cause problems.You have to make sure the unit is clean and stove is clean.Then you have to make sure you have no breeding grounds or trash outside of the property.Also you have to make sure property is sealed well from the outside so they can't get into the small openings.Paying for an exterminator won't help if you don't seal the outside and fix the inside.They will just get rid of a few mice and you will have more again.

The Deal and your Experience will trump Credit.We need not see anything fancy, spreadsheets and power points are overkill.

Nothing big and fancy, just looking for a decent area.
