And given that, in a major city, there are hundreds of houses put on the market weekly, you need a method to efficiently screen properties to make sure they won't bleed money before you spend time analyzing, touring them ect. 

@Michael Baum Thank you, I didn't know it was Evasive but honestly thank you it seems like to alot of people that it was a bunch of jargon/mumbo jumbo and I need to be straight forward I took everyones advice and have actually been getting more replies I've only been calling and emailing landlords/apartment complexes for about a week now so I'm still green but thank you for your feed backIt's hard to show gratitude through a screen but really thank you Micheal truthfully, I will/have make more changes I definitely don't want to be evasive.

I spent the last two weeks down there house hunting but didn't see a deal that made sense in my model, but would love to connect with another Jax investor. 

I just leased two in that area in less than a week. 

My buddy learned this the hard way when his mid-term tenant got reassigned with just a week’s notice..

For 10 years, every arriving party in my STR finds 1) a fresh bowl of fruit, 2) a local city magazine and a weekly periodical and 3) 2 bottles of wine (1 white, 1 red, 1st bottle is complimentary, envelope to pay for 2nd bottle).No great expense, but "wows" the guests every time.
