We recommend her to all our out-of-state and overseas clients.As a fellow Trojan, I'll gladly make a warm introduction for you if you connect with me here on BP!

Thanks for the warm welcome and tips @Sandro Hagenbuch and @Christina J.

We're nearing the end of our due diligence period, so I wanted to double check that we weren't getting ourselves into a mess before our money goes hard.I also wasn't sure whether to have the current owner fill the units, as I've heard horror stories about owners just filling the units with warm bodies in order to show the higher occupancy on paper, when in fact, they turn out to be not the best tenants.All that being said, I absolutely agree that this is a glass half full situation, as we will get to push those rents sooner than expected.

There's no exact science to it but like you said it's only usable about half the year (due to temperature, I presume) and then even when the weather is warm, it could be raining, so truly only available likely somewhat less than half the year - maybe an extra $0.15 - $0.20 psf/mo added to the $1 psf/mo sounds reasonable.

I would think, on the other hand, those effected properties will have a signification price / value drop so you might be able to get some from those who just don't want to deal with that or just walk away.I'm a long term investor (10+ years) so i would worry about global warming, sea level rising, stronger storms and more flooding so i would probably avoid areas that was historically effected or might be effected in the near future.

I expect my relationship with my tenants to be warm within the bounds of professional.At the same time, I'm doing my best to minimize the likelihood of personal attacks.

@Mitchlyn Davis thanks for the warm welcome glad to here you got your first rental last December.

Thanks @Scott Morongell for the warm welcome! 

I’d say say it’s all in the repeat mailings and following up on warm leads and mailings that are returned.

@George Blower Appreciate the warm Welcome my friend.
