We are originally from Kentucky, but have no intentions of settling there.

Like I said its worst case scenario, I don't want to be dragged down by good intentions) There's more to it than just that, but for the sake of brevity, We'll stop there. 3.

However, there are limits where that no longer makes sense, and everyone's limits are different.I do disagree that  @Brandon Giarusso partner is intentionally taking advantage of him.

We bought this small single family home to live in for a year with the intent on renting it in a year.  

Your intentions of making repairs and improvements, putting more cash in signals your skin in the game, more than just a down payment. 

To error is human, but intentional acts are hard to forget or be forgiven for. 

Have to keep myself moving :)  Hopefully I'll settle into a pattern and it will become more second-nature, instead of super intentional. 

@Steve Rozenberg CAPS are for Em-Fa-Sis for particular words only, no intention of damaging ear drums :)I focused my post on the aspect of marketing to potential renters since that is the forum you asked the question.
