, what makes you think that you know anything about their life, or what they need, their character, etc.?  

My original tenant was a good guy, but got caught up with some less desirable characters.

My “friend” then began to make the conversation about me questioning his character.

However, there are an abundance of older homes with lots of character just waiting for restoration.

I got lucky and found a wholesaler with great character who has connected me to all my team members.

I definitely don't want to become one the characters in that movie, so thanks again!

It's a reference and a data point, but it is a pixel and not a picture.Condition is also a major factor; we get typically 200 to 300 more than calculated, because the condition is nicer than average and people are willing to pay for that.PM's are often a bit on the low conservative side, understandably, they don't want to overpromise, also it makes it a bit harder to find a great tenant.Size is another major factor; tenants are very much shopping for square footage.

Learn the trade, and see if it suits you.Just soemthing to think about:Truth: I think we can agree that a professsional athlete makes lots of moneyReality: chances of any of us being a professional athlete is pretty slim...You never really want to put anybody “down” before they’ve tried it (not to mention I’ve never met you, regardless of whether I’m a good job of character or sales potential).

Competition and tough situations will only build character right? 

Did you do anything to accentuate the historic character on the inside?
