Not saying one is better than the other, but if someone gives you lemons then you make lemonade, but if I have peaches I might instead make a sweet peach cobbler!  

Sweet deals for corporations have netted 10,000 new units, however 11,000 units (mostly mom and pop) landlords have quit and sold.

I don’t know how things are now but last summer appraisers were taking their sweet time so make sure not to push off too far.  

However, I found that 5,000 mailers are a sweet spot.

I have found homes that are at or under the median home price in your area is the sweet spot right now with affordability being scarce. 

Everything else in the sweet spot - $200k-800k depending on where you live - is going to just hold steady in price, maybe even slightly increase.

The savy ones are worse because they are always, in my experience, trying to use it somehow to get themselves a sweet deal. 

I have since purchased more properties without any issues ... they have been sweet deals with sweet tenants. 

You say you don't care to be in control, but you really do and I understand your reasoning, but maybe the tenant is up in the air in regards to what she wants to do and maybe she does not want to make a commitment she regrets in the future.Send her a sweet letter in writing and maybe you want to even praise her for being a nice tenant and paying on time.

Yes if it's a class A asset which will have a good balance of rent growth and appreciation , given you have a sweet mortgage.
