So we are able to have more strenuous guidelines, no pets, 2 year or longer rental agreements, etc.We have recently started a lease-purchase program and the tenants seem to have more of a homeowner mentality.

They could have a mental illness and need help.

Most agents are so busy running after business, that they dont have the mental headspace to go and buy a property.

Not sure if that’s the best way to look at it as I’m new this but it’s  my mentality until I learn otherwise. 

My mentality is get out there and meet as many people as possible since I have only lived here a year and don't have a huge sphere.

I love your mentality.

I have no substantive advice on the matter, but I do love reading these respectful debates from both sides of the argument - for the sake of mental aerobics - where the objective is to find the most cost-effective solution to increase efficiency in an increasingly efficient "inefficient market" Here's another idea to the OP - get a more fuel efficient car to go see property, so it costs you $13, not $15!

I believe this could be a lucrative but possibly risky venture in Metro Detroit, receive cash flow and create home owners without dealing with the renter mentality since the home would be there's in a short period of time (2-3 years).The company would make home ownership affordable and simple from the website to closing the deal.Here's the process I'm considering:1.

Dallas has had some run ups.. but a lot of that is Herd mentality by investors..

Because we have personally seen everyone that was not priced too high for the market range, kept track of what they sold for, and mentally know about how long they took to sell.
