Having said all of that, I think you should ignore everything I've said IF it somehow puts the brakes on your desire to get started.

I've seen it happen on other sites as well, and I can't help but feel that people like this are actually just employees of Lifestyles looking to pad their positive reviews.I'd be more understanding if you (generally speaking) were just upfront and said, "Hey, I work for Lifestyles and love it.

Hi xx,I am interested in buying your property at 123 Main st.Thanks,Name & phone numberHand write in ink on yellow legal pad and mail with an interesting stamp and no return address.Simple and it works.

Typically with residential it takes property 3-5 years to brake even and cash flowing slightly after 7-10years.Now with the 40% deposit requirement you may cash-flow a bit faster.I suggest you take @Dean Letfus on his offer.

I do have a few more questions on the rental process now that I just posted the property for rent last night on zillow, postlets, hot pads, etc.1- What is considered tenant screening vs discrimination?

That property manager would be fired immediately and I'd like some documentation from the electrician about what was actually done to justify that padded bill.
