They do require line sets to be run to the indoor unit, so there can be a little bit of cutting and patching, but to as much as a PTAC.

That's been the biggest difference maker for meGo check out the Enclave Apartments!

I'd be cautious about excluding pets if you're concerned about vacancy.C) While much better tenants (very little wear and tear on your property, good for rent, pass background checks), there is a need for many STR amenities (security conscious with parking spaces and the home, have nice bed/sheets/cooking supplies/coffee maker, high speed internet a plus - having great TV wasn't a deal breaker for those we surveyed)D) Mixed input on the proximity. 

I also keep a list of the 20 people a week that call me looking for a house to rent, and reference that list to make re-renting even quickerMaintenance- $50 a month...maybe..

I know that these properties would eventually appreciate because they are growing cities, people that make really good money are constantly moving there, business are opening there and they are constantly developing new buildings for commercial and multifamily.

If they take care of the unit there wont be much cost to make rent ready after they leave. 

Most likely a woman is going to be the decision maker anyway so appeal to a woman. 

Hello BP community,I wanted to get some advice in skip tracing the owner (or decision maker) of a property I've had my eye on for a bit. 

Yes, prices are high and interest rates don't help but if you can get into a good area and have some level of positive cash flow from the beginning, you're more than likely going to see appreciation and cash flow improve over the next 5-10 years.Price and home size are really dependent on your strategy and how much work you're willing to do (yourself or contract out) to make rent ready.

But mice indoors are not normal, so you probably have more on your end to exterminate.But there is probably a need to address and itemize the deposit.
