My previous tenant left the yard in a poor condition before moving out.

Make cosmetic updates if needed, offer free months rent on a longer lease, make sure your units have qualities like laundry and AC. 

The current rents are really low because the tenants are responsible for doing any and all repairs on their buildings (which in my opinion contributes to the poor condition of the buildings). 

Avoid deals in poor locations with high vacancy rates, overpriced properties, significant deferred maintenance, and unclear financials.

Quote from @Zack Marshall: Quote from @Tyler Tyson: I had a very poor experience with them last year.

Respond within minutes to each one, as tenants often go with the first responsive option.Ensure you have high-quality photos that make your property stand out against the competition.

AI is not some magical, all-knowing miracle that can pull leads out of thin air.AI is simply a faster, more hands-off way to find the same low-quality leads you get from DMM, cold calling, and SMS marketing.You’re not improving lead quality—you’re just finding bad leads faster.

Quality over quantity for me. 

Personally, I find BTRs to be more predictable with fewer ongoing maintenance issues, and they tend to attract high-quality tenants.

I really implore you to go another route as most arbitrage ends poorly.
