Now I moved to another place and don’t need that office room and home anymore and it is also a bit small for Airbnb rent.

So same thing as an agent pick a technique and stick to it.Myself personally when I started as an agent I did not do follow up like I should have but what i did do was become a CLOSESR  If i got in front of them my success rate was very high so thats where I put my energy and my moto was next..If I could not close them first meeting I moved on the next. 

To end the call they will tell you "you seem like a great candidate and i want to move you to the next step" so again, more positioning. 

@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

Many of the residents there eventually move to our property.

That’s a great move—starting early with analyzing deals will put you in a strong position when you're ready to buy.Since you're open to other markets in the Southeast, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at Chattanooga.

What do you need help with to move you toward your goal?

Buying a condo in Treasure Island could be a great move, but be sure you're prepared for the next hurricane.

People have no choice but to move to cities where they can live and work immediately.

If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.
