You will likely be getting a similar "type" of renter for the $400 per mo as you would the $200-250 so there will be no "conflicts".  

I've come across conflicting information about this.

I am conflicted about being an evil landlord, but feel in my gut that it would be best strategically and financially if they were gone.

Now, due to scheduling conflicts with my vendors to get the repairs done, we did not complete everything and get a cleaning service completed until 3/28.

The reason you are getting conflicting advice is that there are pros and cons to using a buyers agent versus using the listing agent.  

From what you've said, I'm kinda conflicted here.A. 

And with all units turning over now for next academic year, I'm trying to be more careful about my admittedly lax screening process.I've seen several threads on BP about this topic but a lot of conflicting ideas.

I like for our tenants, for the most part, to have seen the unit ahead of time to minimize any possible conflict later.I am definitely not advocating to discriminate or break fair housing laws, because that can be a thin line.

There's a litttttttle bit of a conflict of interest here.

Sounds like a tricky situation and there are a lot of conflicting answers on here.But enough to narrow down the decision that is best suited for u, ur the landlord, it's ur property, u have to protect it so what sits best with u that won't bother u is ur decision...all the best!
