Definitely proud of the vacation rentals and investment deals my clients secured last year.

By working with motivated sellers, I’m able to secure below-market deals and pass those savings onto buyers.

It seems like offering this as a separate package once you secured the booking is a good idea. 

I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

I would pay I/O for 5 yrs, and then ri-fi but you HAVE to hit your pro-forma to execute this plan. 

A friend of mine rented her property near a base and connected with military housing officers at the Family Support Center, which helped secure steady tenants.

He isn't rich enough to have a body guard and a security professional.

That has stopped but we do feel it to be a security issue. 

You need to make sure your tenant screening is very thorough and also your property security is top notch.

With the income issue, there are screening systems available that verify income by having applicants securely log in to their payroll provider, which then shares their gross and net income with you.
