My Property manager is great, she does a lot of vetting for people, it has been relatively hassle free *knock on wood*

Knock on the door and start a conversation. 6.

@Kanishk Dayal I don't put much weight into left winged rags like the NY Times doing their best to knock down anyone who's not on board with their political view.  

Someone asked may have experience I may be missing but I dont see it working to a retail.buyer using a government insured loanPlus the 90day rule is in effect again on FHA loans so that pretty much knocks that out of the water up front. 

You seriously go knocking on doors to collect rent in 2016?

Overall, once you're confident in the numbers and how they will work for you, make the offer and just start knocking out each item on the next list you make.

They have no checking account and paying bills that way is not routine, you frequently have to knock on the door and ask for the rent.

So in other words, when the area starts booming again you'll have businesses knocking at your door to purchase the space.The second option is to find an agent that can find you someone who wants to live right smack in the middle of all that commerce.  

Thank in advance, Zane I know people who going all day every day to knock it out because they have the time to do so.  

@Michael Lee  Thank you for the words of wisdom, best of luck to you with your health.As far as single family rentals, vs Apartments, (knock on wood), we have picked properties for the most part where young professionals coming to Dallas want to live, and we try to maintain our rentals in top condition so that we can be selective with who we rent to and that we can over the long haul minimize vacancies.
