As an agent, you should be fighting for better control for your investor properties not just lip service to what there feelings tell you.

Had one the other day immediately start badgering me over application fees and having to provide references.

@Aryan Strauss In a non-smoking building we have lost prospective very qualified applicants because of smokers off the premises.

If you are in fact referring to gross rents, then yes you can get gross rents well above that but after all expenses, includeing debt service, PM, maint, cap ex reserves etc, a good deal is about $100 - $200 a door in pure cashflow. 

I've gone through eviction court proceedings, ran thousands of background/credit checks for application, made numerous leases, dealt with repairs and whole house renovations when a few tenants nearly destroyed properties, and worked with property management companies on the HOA units. 

To manage tenants effectively, I'll enlist the services of a reputable property manager.

The interview process process "interview" lol requires you to just be a living human being.The NAR operates like the mafia, collecting fees to move product and services on their turf.The bar is super low. 

Being a local company, providing quality housing and great service is very important to us. 

Tell me how often you have to file for an eviction.I didn't ask to negotiate the monthly fee, and never have since day one - as long as they provide me excellent service, I am happy to pay their requested rate.
