I don't know about AK, but in MA if a buyer's broker shows up at this stage, the listing broker may not recognize the relationship.

My point was trying to show the stages of real estate are typically baby steps in the beginning.

So I’m well into the learning stage and looking to find out what are the most effective a ways of finding good deals.

Facebook Ads geared towards your marketCould virtually stage an apartment and use on Instagram, Facebook etc...Hold an open houseTenant Referral Campaign- “Pick Your Neighbors”I did this one time, I gave away a TV or Grill with an approved tenant and move in.

That's interesting you staged it for a rental.. is that common?

Linda S. we are taking new photos and the front porch is going to get staged Saturday with furniture and plants.

Spent two months repairing some damage, painting and staging the unit and split the master bedroom off from the rest of the upstairs unit to create three separate listings.

The extra 2-3 weeks extra is not the end of the world and when it is sold we won't care, but it is one of those things that in the moment you get bogged down with.There were some reasons for this that were outside of our control, but we can certainly get better at planning for:this house was purchased sight unseen and the cleanout was more expansive and took longer than anticipatedFor 6 weeks from the beginning of April through beginning of May it rained 27 out of 30 days around here which delayed the outside work getting done.There were unanticipated issues that arose at other projects that are in various stages of construction and in rentals we hold in our portfolio.

Do I need to do that or anything to ensure our rental property can stand up against any challenge from the tenant (not that I have any reason to believe they have an issue or will take an issue at this stage).Thanks for your guidance BP!
